This doesn't surprise me at all. Locals refer to it as the wettest dry town in America
OT: The drunkest city in NJ

That reinforces what we all knew. That prohibition drives people to drink.
Data is for the whole of Cape May County. Focusing on OC seems far fetched.
You, apparently, since you took the time to open the thread.
Stupid, misleading article and this threads title. They also ignore that this only applies in the summer and it's a County that is a sought after vacation destination so people are drinking every single day. OC maybe the leader on their Night's in Venice weekend but Cape May and the Wildwoods tells OC to hold their beer the rest of the time!
Lol Somers Point has about 5 bars and liquor stores within a 2 mile radius of the bridge to OCNJ. Dry town my ***...folks just stock up on the mainland.
From my experience these towns have a lot of heavy drinkers

I didn't read the analysis methodology, but for it to be holistic in nature (i.e., comparing all parts of the state and country), I'd imagine it's based on data of where population resides. That would negate your point about it being a summer / vacation town.
Negate my point? Obviously you never lived in a Jersey shore town. I grew up in Lavalette NJ . Where we would have less then hundreds living town in the winter and thousands upon thousands in the summer.
Sorry, I meant it would negate your point around the article being crap and the conclusions being related to it being a shore town.
house on princeton ave says hello
TR here and your are right. Lavelette was a ghost town in the winters
Agreed. This excerpt from the article makes me wonder if it was written by a 9 year old...
"And technically, the data is for the metropolitan area, which is the entirety of Cape May County, not only Ocean City itself."
