Green Bay has obtained a dubious title: "Drunkest City in America".

On May 24, the website 24/7 Wall St released its "Drunkest Cities" list, which is dominated by Wisconsin cities.

The study found that 26.5 percent of Green Bay metro area adults report that they drink excessively or binge drink on a regular basis.

24/7 Wall St says they reviewed the percentage of adults 18 and older who say they binge drink or drink heavily. It happened over a 30-day period across 381 metro areas in the United States.

Here’s a list of the top ten drunkest cities in America: 1. Green Bay, 2. Eau Claire, 3. Appleton, 4. Madison, 5. Fargo, ND, 6. Oshkosh, 7. Missoula, MT, 8. Grand Forks, ND, 9. Wausau, 10. La Crosse. As you can see, Wisconsin claims seven of the ten, including the top four spots.

Studies like this come out all the time and often have a pretty click-bait worth headline, but we wanted to know if it was accurate so Action 2 News did some digging.

We checked out the methodology behind the study, that’s how they figured out which cities were the drunkest and we found out the sourcing was pretty solid and was based on actual numbers.

The 24/7 Wall Street study looked at 381 different metro areas.

The used the U.S. Census Data from 2015 and looked at five different variables that impact the ability to drink: bars per capita, earning potential, overall health, binge drinking habits and whether the city has a college or graduate school.

When you give them each a score and find the average, Green Bay topped the list with 26.5 percent of adults, 18 or older, saying they regularly binge drink.

The study went one step further and took a closer look at how many drunk driving deaths there were in each city.

According to the study, the Green Bay Metro area is one of only five nationwide where over half of all deadly car accidents involve alcohol. Nationwide that number is only 30 percent.

We confirmed those numbers with the Brown County Sheriff’s office Wednesday night. In 2015, there were 13 fatal crashes. Eight of them involved alcohol and on an average the driver blew a blood alcohol level of .211.

The numbers not only confirm the study’s findings, but also suggest a trend in Brown County. In 2016, 53 percent of the deadly crashes involved alcohol and so far this year, it’s 63 percent.

Also making the Drunkest Cities list: Fond du Lac (#12); Sheboygan (#15); and Milwaukee (#20).

On the other side of the coin, Wall Street 24/7 found the driest cities in America to be Provo-Orem, Utah; St. George, Utah; and Beckley, West Virginia.
