Kansas City is the 36th drunkest city in America

Men's Health, we call bullshit on your "100 Drunkest Cities in America" list.

Kansas City is the 36th drunkest city? You give us a D+? Bullshit. KC's a solid F.

USA Today ran the full list of 100 cities and their respective rankings that will come be revealed in the mag's March edition. The researchers at Men's Health pulled from "death rates from alcoholic liver disease, booze-fueled car crashes, frequency of binge-drinking in the past month, number of DUI arrests, and severity of DUI penalties."

Oh, really. Have you ever been to Kansas City on St. Patrick's Day? The 18th Street Mardi Gras Parade. And just because our livers take a beating and we don't croak doesn't mean we're not future transplant patients. Don't discount the resiliency of our livers.

After the jump, the so-called top 10 drunkest cities.

  1. Fresno, California
  2. Reno, Nevada
  3. Billings, Montana
  4. Riverside, California
  5. Austin, Texas
  6. St. Louis, Missouri
  7. San Antonio, Texas
  8. Lubbock, Texas
  9. Tucson, Arizona
  10. Bakersfield, California

Fresno? Billings? Bakersfield?

With the city's horrible rate of STDs, you'd think we'd have a better excuse.
