Perhaps a dubious distinction, but Austin has beaten San Antonio in the Drunkest Cities in America competition.

Maybe its because of the university in Austin, or maybe its because all San Antonio has is the Riverwalk.

With 3 cities in the top 10, it might also be concluded that Texas is among the drunkest states in the country.

The Top 10 Drunkest Cities, according to Men's Health:

Fresno, California
Reno, Nevada
Billings, Montana
Riverside, California
Austin, Texas
St. Louis, Missouri
San Antonio, Texas
Lubbock, Texas
Tucson, Arizona
Bakersfield, California

Ahh, and Lubbock a close third. How could we beat NYC or NOLA? Maybe those are stigmas.

So y'all don't feel left out... San Antonio is mentioned before Austin in this 1980s classic:
