Amazing. People in Scranton whine about how underpaid they are, yet they always have money to drink and smoke.

It's the old millworker mentality (or coal miner in Scranton's case). The Industrial Revolution's problem of blue collar males spending all their day's income at the bar still goes strong to this day.

Wow! Pittsburgh, my hometown, #4. Springfield, MA, son-in-law's hometown#5. Denver, my new hometown, #6. Omaha, DH's hometown, #23, Minn-St. Paul, where DD #2 lives, #15. This is embarrassing. Fargo is in N. Dakota, not MN.

When will people start realizing that ALL of this dumb media is to get people to read the crap to sell advertising? Do you really think any study can find out who has the most hangovers? Really? It is all about some headline to get people to have a look to make money. Stupid crap for stupid people.

Apparently not as many as Pittsburgh, by that criteria anyway.

i think there are a host of reasons for any city's ranking (strangely, did you realize NO places like Miami, San Diego, New Orleans places in there?)

for Scranton - i think it might be a magnet for college bound kids from a huge area. scranton would be a ridiculously low cost alternative to, say, the not far away NYC area. so there is a market, one would think. that coupled with its depressed economy, and the remnants of the baby boomer social drinking culture....no, im not surprised at scranton at all. i liked that town when i lived in the area for a college work/study thing.

for that matter, im shocked el paso, TX isnt in that list! (from what ive heard).

lets have fun and break down the #4 - Pittsburgh.

which neighborhoods are the most hung over (now its per capita) over the course of a year?

my votes:

Uptown (Bluff)
Oakland
South Side Slopes

I'm not buying this research. Not a single town in Texas or Florida in the top 25.

Massachusetts and Colorado are well represented though. And MA has a pretty good record for low DUIs and low drunk accident fatalities, so if they're getting bombed by the thousands up there, at least they're taking mass transit.
