Atlantic City Is the Drunkest City in the State

MSN.com has given Atlantic City a not-so-great ranking.

Atlantic City has been given top prize of being the "Drunkest City in the State."

Woo hoo!

(That's sarcasm)

Here's how MSN.com came up with their decision,

America’s Playground, Atlantic City, has the highest share of adults drinking to excess in New Jersey. While 15.0% of U.S. adults report binge or heavy drinking, 18.1% of Atlantic City adults said the same. While that share is high, it is actually lower than many of the cities in other states with a large share of residents drinking to excess. Alcohol abuse has been shown to be linked to health problems, and indeed, Atlantic City actually has significantly more life lost due to premature death than the state, at 7,918 years per 100,000 residents versus 5,558 per 100,000 residents, respectively.

Oh darn.  Hoboken?  No?
