Top 25 Drunkest Cities and Towns in Illinois [LIST]
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila... DRUNK.
Ah, Road Snacks, you've done it again. You've created another amazing list, this time highlighting the drunks of Illinois.
Right off the bat I have to mention that I'm very disappointed that Aurora didn't make it in the top 25. Especially after the city announced that they were coming up with a Habitual Drunkard list to not allow certain people to purchase alcohol.
How Road Snacks came up with the ranking is actually quite comical. The factors, including the number of bars, pubs, wineries and liquor stores per capita all makes sense to me...
- Number of bars and pubs per capita
- Number of wineries per capita
- Number of liquor stores per capita
- Each city’s drunk related tweets within the last week
- Each city’s divorce rate
But the divorce rate!? I see how alcohol could play a factor in a reason for divorce, but I feel like it's not the MAIN reason why people get divorces. I assume it would be money. People always fight about money. But what do I know?
