Cheers? What is Missouri’s Drunkest City? #1 is a Shocker
I was genuinely surprised when I learned what Missouri's drunkest cities were. But, it was the one at the top that truly shocked me when it came to alcohol consumption. Cheers?
I probably shouldn't be laughing because this really isn't funny, but Roadsnacks just ranked the drunkest cities in Missouri a few days ago using the following criteria:
- 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 past week
- Each city’s divorce rate
What is Missouri's "drunkest city"?
(*Drum Roll*)...it's Branson!
So how did Branson get this dubious honor? Roadsnacks says Branson has a divorce rate of 18.24%, the 9th most bars in Missouri and is 2nd in liquor stores.
For what it's worth, Valley Park, St. Louis, Bonne Terre and Nevada rounded out the top 5 among the Missouri cities that need an intervention apparently.
On the good news side of the equation, they also named the 5 LEAST drunk Missouri cities which are:
- Town And Country
- Oakville
- Shrewsbury
- Glendale
- Fort Leonard Wood
It's a pretty sobering list if you ask me. (pun intended). Check out the full alcoholic list from Roadsnacks if you need a deeper dive into the Missouri places that probably need a few new hobbies.
