At least, according to the December issue of the body dysmorphia-inducing rag <em><a href="http://www.menshealth.com/cda/homepage.do?site=MensHealth">Men's Health Magazine</a></em>. The rankings are based on alcohol-related liver deaths, "binge drinking data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," FBI-culled drunk driving arrest numbers, death-related auto accidents that involved booze, and "grades given to cities by <a href="http://www.madd.org/">Mothers Against Drunk Driving</a> for their efforts to curb excessive drinking." Cheers, everyone.</p>

<p>What's hysterical, though, <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_7702154">according to the <em>SJ Merc</em></a>, is Fremont Police Detective Bill Veteran's shock and awe at discovering his pretty little town isn't as virginal as he believed. Shaking his in disbelief with a tear falling down his rough cheek, or maybe not, he says, "I don't believe it ... we don't have that many bars and our only large nightclub isn't a problem." Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman then chimes in to say that the "study's authors 'were probably smoking something when they wrote that.'" To which we say, admitting your city has a problem is the first step. We'll get through this together, Mayor Wasserman. Shhh, it's OK.</p>

<p>Besides, wouldn't you drink into dull stupors if you had to live in Fremont? Of course you would. But on the brighter side, at least the glossy thinks that <a href="http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do?site=MensHealth&amp;channel=health&amp;category=other.diseases.ailments&amp;conitem=544a99edbbbd201099edbbbd2010cfe793cd____">Fremont is the healthiest city for men</a>. Huh. Go figure. </p>

<p>And the drunkest of them all, you ask? Denver grabbed the number one spot, with Anchorage, Alaska coming in at a close number two. </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
