Remember last year when we told you Dayton was named Ohio's drunkest city? While that might still be true, we can say that we are not one of the drunkest cities in America.

According to 24/7 Wall St., the drunkest cities in America are:

1. Appleton, WI

2. Oshkosh-Neenah, WI

3. Green Bay, WI

4. Madison, WI

5. Fargo, ND

6. La Crosse-Onalaska, WI

7. Fond du Lac, WI

8. Ames, IA

9. Eau Claire, WI

10. Mankato-North Mankato, MN

In case you noticed a pattern, yes, 7 of the 10 drunkest cities are in Wisconsin. Make of that what you will.

They based their rankings on percentage of adults who report drinking to excess, percentage of driving deaths involving alcohol, premature deaths and median household income.
