Three Iowa cities are among the “drunkest” in the country. That’s according to USA Today, which published a list based on factors such as number of bars per capita, binge drinking rates, and alcohol-related fatal crashes. Topping the list is Green Bay, Wisconsin. Iowa City is ranked 13th.

The article notes the home to the University of Iowa “boasts a high concentration of bars and restaurants,” with an estimated 387 places to drink in the area. Dubuque is just behind Iowa City at number-14. Ames is 19th on the list.
