Study: Reno is drunkest Nevada city

Congratulations Reno, pour yourself a drink for being named the drunkest city in Nevada.

24/7 Wall Street, a financial news and opinion website, listed the drunkest city in every state Wednesday with Reno topping the chart for Nevada.

The site figured the data by reviewing the number of men and women who reported binge drinking in metro areas and aggregating it with county-level data provided by County Health Rankings and Roadmaps, a joint program between the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The findings showed one in five adults – or 20 percent – engage in binge or heavy drinking in Reno compared with 15 percent of the national population. Just more than 18 percent of adults in Nevada as a whole reported binge or heavy drinking, the 17th highest in the nation according to the study.

Other cities on the list include San Jose, Denver, Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis
