Daily Beast Ranks America’s Craziest Cities…

based on psychiatrists per capita, stress, eccentricity and drinking levels. Where do you think Seattle fell?

March 12, 2010

If you believe The Daily Beast, Cincinnati is America’s craziest city. Seattle? We rank 19th, slightly less crazy than Pittsburgh (and Portland, # 17), but more crazy than Columbus, Ohio. (I should hope so!) We got pretty high marks for drinking, however, a 25 out of a possible 57.

Drinking scores were determined based on "heavy drinking, defined as two drinks a day or more for men, and one drink a day or more for women. With data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2008."

One drink a day or more for women is "heavy drinking?" That’s crazy!
