Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot: America's Drunkest Cities

As New Year's Eve approaches, a new list is surfacing highlighting America's "drunkest cities." TheDailyBeast.com reports that Milwaukee, Wisconsin is the so-called "drunkest city" in the U.S. in 2010, based on a survey of the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed per person per month. Sharing space on the top ten list with Milwaukee were Fargo, North Dakota at number two and Anchorage, Alaska at number nine. Cold winter weather wasn't necessarily a common denominator on the list cities where imbibing is a popular pastime. A few places with relatively mild climates -- like San Francisco, California at number three and Austin, Texas at number four -- also made the top ten.

Here is the list of the top ten "drunkest" cities in America:

1. Milwaukee, WI
2. Fargo, ND
3. San Francisco, CA
4. Austin, TX
5. Reno, NV
6. Burlington, VT
7. Omaha, NE
8. Boston, MA
9. Anchorage, AK
10. San Diego, CA
