Turns out the coast isn’t the wettest part of California.
Three Golden State cities are among the top ten “drunkest” in America, according to a survey by Men’s Health magazine posted Thursday, with Fresno’s 500,000 residents knocking back the most suds.
Reno, Nevada took the runner-up slot and Billings, Montana grabbed the bronze. Riverside and Bakersfield in California were numbers four and ten, respectively.
On the other end of the spectrum, in spite of being a hub for thirsty college students, Boston is the nation’s “least drunk” city, the magazine found. Three of America’s teetotaler cities were in the New York metropolitan area, with the city itself receiving an A-.

Probably funded by Obami Commies for $2 million!
It's Jim Thompson's fault.
#5 Austin, #7 San Antonio, and #8 Lubbock, Texas. Austin, I can see with UT and all the Keep Austin Weird liberal tree hugger crowd. At the risk of being racist, San Antonio is full of illegals. But I don’t get Lubbock being on the list.
Fresno?
Isn’t that where FR is located?
:-)
PS. Whatever happened with those poor central Ca. farmers having their water supply shut off by the enviro-marxists?
Have you ever been to Buttock, er, I mean Lubbock? There isn’t much else to do there.
San Antonio is a party town. Period. Even if they ran out all the illegals, we’d keep their fiestas. Next one is in April — come on down!
Texas Tech. Nuf said.
JT is the conservative missionary living in the land of the lost and delusional!
It also helps when you have about a dozen drive through Beer Barns just outside of town. It is like fast food.
If I had to live in the land of fruits and nuts, I’d drink, too.

Sure, there’s Tech but it’s microscopic compared to other universities around the nation.
I'd like to know what Lubbock was rated when it was a dry area.
‘kay, are we back to talking ‘bout Santone now?
But they drink more than many others combined.
this list is very flawed
it has as much to do with frequency of driving and enforcment as it does drinking
Lemme see if’n I foller yew correctly...
You’re coming from drunk as a tourist attraction...??? At least, in the case of Buttock??
Wolfforth isn't dry and they specialize in drive through liquor stores (Docs, Crossed Keys, Buddy's, The Cellar, Double T, etc) that cater to TTU students.
Huffman didn't make the list?
Just damn!
