The Drunkest (and Driest) Cities in America

WALL ST. – 24/07

Alcohol poisoning and alcohol-related liver diseases are major contributors to the recently identified spike in mortality among middle aged, white Americans. Alcohol is the fourth leading cause of preventable death in the United States, claiming nearly 88,000 lives a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Excessive drinking can take the form of binge drinking or heavy drinking. The CDC defines binge drinking as consuming four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men during a single sitting. Heavy drinking is defined as some 15 or more drinks consumed per week for men and eight or more drinks for women. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious and often fatal health consequences. According to the CDC, negative health outcomes associated with heavy drinking include liver disease, neurological damage, and cardiovascular diseases.

To identify the U.S. cities with the highest and lowest excessive drinking rates, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the percentage of adults who report binge or heavy drinking across 381 metro areas. Metro level data were aggregated from county level data provided by County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute joint program. All data are as of the most recent available year. Median household income and poverty data came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The number of bars per capita came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Health outcomes, including the number of potential lives lost per 100,000 people due to premature death annually and the percentage of adults who report fair or poor health were also aggregated from county-level data obtained from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps.  

America's 20 drunkest cities

Burn Fat – Alcohol : According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, women are considered "heavy drinkers" if they have eight or more drinks a week and men can have 14. Take a look at the 20 drunkest cities in America.

Without further ado, the Top 20 heaviest drinking cities in America, and the corresponding percentage of adults that drink excessively in them:

·         Appleton, WI – (26.8%)

·         Oshkosh-Neenah, WI – (26%)

·         Green Bay, WI – (25.6%)

·         Madison, WI – (25.5%)

·         Fargo, ND – (25.2%)

·         La Crosse – Onalaska, WI – (25.1%)

·         Fond du Lac, WI – (24.6%)

Drinking is fun. It’s that simple. Wine, beer, and liquor can all taste fantastic if chosen well and in sufficient quantity they’ll all get you buzzed. But at what point does tasty alcohol stop tasting like something? At what point does a mild buzz turn into a hazy numbness? At what point does tipsy pleasure turn into a whirlwind of terrible dance moves and poor texting choices?

If you can’t answer these questions yourself, we know who can: someone from Wisconsin.

At least according to the list of The Drunkest (and Driest) Cities in America released over the weekend by 24/7 Wall Street and compiled using data from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. It turns out Wisconsin is home to a staggering 7 of the top 10 drunkest cities in the country, and 12 of the top 20. “Drunkenness” per city was measured by the percent of the population that either binge drinks or drinks heavily throughout the week –respectively 4 to 5 drinks in a sitting or 15 or more drinks per week.

This means that a bunch of people living in Wisconsin’s twelve heaviest drinking cities are likely to be able to ask the questions posed at the beginning of this article. They know what it is like to over drink. In fact, after reading the list of drunken cities from 24/7 Wall Street, it seems feasible that Wisconsinites no longer get tipsy like the rest of America. Have they become immune? On second thought, maybe they can’t answer right now…

Without further ado, the Top 20 heaviest drinking cities in America, and the corresponding percentage of adults that drink excessively in them:

1. Appleton, WI – (26.8%)
2. Oshkosh-Neenah, WI – (26%)
3. Green Bay, WI – (25.6%)

20. Corvallis, OR – (23.2%)

Alcohol is strictly prohibited in Islam

What is said regarding the one who regards an alcoholic drink lawful to drink and calls it by another name.

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is a great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allah makes  clear to you the verses [of  revelation] that you might  give  thought. – The Holy Qur’an 2:219.  

And of mankind is he who purchase idle talks (i.e. music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah thout knowledge and takes it (the path of Allah, or the Verse of the Qur’an) by way kof mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-Fire) – The Holy Qur’an 31:6.

 Narrated Ibn 'Umar(RA): 

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever drinks alcoholic drinks in he world and does not repent (before dying), will be deprived of it in the Hereafter."  - Shahi Bukhari: Vol.7, No.481 

Narrated Abu Huraira(RA): 

On the night Allah's Apostle was taken on a night journey (Miraj) two cups, one containing wine and the other milk, were presented to him at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the cup of milk. Gabriel said, "Praise be to Allah Who guided you to Al-Fitra (the right path); if you had taken (the cup of) wine, your nation would have gone astray." - Shahi Bukhari Volume 7, No.482 

  Narrated Anas(RA): 

I heard from Allah's Apostle a narration which none other than I will narrate to you. The Prophet,  said, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: General ignorance (in religious affairs) will prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks will be drunk (in abundance), men will decrease and women will increase so much so that for 

every fifty women there will be one man to look after them." - Shahi Bukhari Vol.7, No.483

Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad.

 [This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress there from - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers. Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember. And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!" Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.  Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent. And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful. And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses. And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful. And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.  [ Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."  [Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.  [Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

 [Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."

 [Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path. Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."  [Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together." The Holy Qur’an 7: 1-18.

(The Statement of Allah: “And We shall a set up balance of justice on the day of resurrection” –V-21:47)

Some Faces

In the Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

It is not for a human [prophet] that Allah should give him the Scripture and authority and prophet hood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than Allah," but [instead, he would say], "Be pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied."

Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims? 

And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.

And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me.

And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allah took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [Allah] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?" They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient.

So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned?

Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him."

And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Those - their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and the people, all together,

Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Indeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.

Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.

Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muhammad], "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful."

And whoever invents about Allah untruth after that - then those are [truly] the wrongdoers.

Say, “Allah has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of the polytheists."

Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and guidance for the worlds.

In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves - then indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds.

Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while Allah is Witness over what you do?"

Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allah those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allah is not unaware of what you do."

O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.

And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of Allah and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allah has [indeed] been guided to a straight path.

O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].

And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.

And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.

On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."

But as for those whose faces will turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allah. They will abide therein eternally.

These are the verses of Allah. We recite them to you, [O Muhammad], in truth; and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds.

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allah will [all] matters be returned. – 3:79-109
