The less-than-scientific ranking tallied what it calls the “not-so-holy-trinity.” Rankers used Yelp and TripAdvisor to work out the number of nightlife venues per 100,000 people. They took cannabis consumption figures from the Weed Index and added country-wide stats on cocaine and alcohol use from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and World Health Organization adjusted for city population.

Throw them all together and each city gets a score of 0 to 3 on a scale from “completely tame” to “absolutely bonkers.”

Topping the list is Manchester, U.K., followed by American cities Washington and Miami.
