Well I wondered how St Louis, which prides itself on being the buckle of the Bible Belt, ranked first in Excesses and Vices, but after looking at the underlying methodology, it was hard to disagree:
Excesses & Vices – Total Points: 14.3
Percentage of Obese Adults: Full Weight (~2.86 Points)
Excessive Drinking: Full Weight (~2.86 Points)
Note: This metric measures the age-adjusted prevalence of binge and heavy drinking among the adults population.
Percentage of Adult Smokers: Full Weight (~2.86 Points)
Drug Overdose Deaths: Full Weight (~2.86 Points)
Note: “Drug Overdose Deaths” refers to the number of deaths due to drug poisoning per 100,000 residents.
I ain't buying it. They claim Vegas only ranks 5th in vanity? I don't think I've ever been anywhere with as many 70+ year old women with obviously augmented (and quite lovely, btw) breasts and also obvious facelifts. One might attribute this observation to the number of retired showgirls in town.
Not quite on topic, but yesterday I went to a smoke shop in Pahrump, a distant exurb of Vegas, only to find it closed on Sunday. This is Nevada, where you can buy food, booze, companionship, and any other manner of perceived sins any time, any day, but the smoke shops are closed on Sunday. Bonus factoid, this particular chain of smoke shops is owned and managed by Muslims…

LOL, my hometown Pittsburgh is in the top ten and Los Angeles didn't even crack the top 100.

Boston is way down at 109. Clearly, they haven't been out drinking and debauching with my old crew.
Salt Lake City is so low because porn browsing isn't one of the metrics.
And what of the penguins?

Does it reduce gluttony?

Better hop to it, lest you be guilty of sloth.
