With KSEE's new committement to highlighting Fresno in a positive light "We are Fresno," was expecting a more in depth look at this story as well, like "Terry" suggested. The criteria and stats behind this study are dubious.

I am so happy I moved out of Fresno 10 years ago and to the bay area. Nothing to do over there but party and go to bars.

it is unfornutate and unfair that KSEE24 chose to protray this article in the manner that it did. it is irresponsible reporting to state a rating on a "list" without disclosing its sources the list sources. how did they come to the conclusion, was it a random poll, was it a scientific - someone look at a few DUI reports? are we going by per capita and counting people who come to Fresno from other places to party? does this mean our police force is more effective than other towns? very unfair reporting on a unsubstiantiated list.

I lived in Fresno and now I live in Davis and I can say Davis has more drunks and drinking then Fresno by far. Plus I am sure there are more places worse then Fresno.

I would think it would be the biggest drug city.

I think this is an absurd article in mens health magazine because it doesn't justly represent how many DUI checkpoints are set up per major city. I personally feel Fresno sets up more DUI checkpoints than other major cities.

With all the DUI checks going around, it's hard to believe that Fresno is that bad. But I must confess, I'm drinking now. Just not drunk
