We're number 1! Jersey City tops list of N.J. cities with most alcoholicsBy Summer Dawn Hortillosa / The Jersey Journalon July 02, 2014 at 9:45 AM, updated July 02, 2014 at 10:12 AMJersey City has the most alcoholics in New Jersey, a new report says.Jersey City had 676 cases of alcoholism treatment reported in 2013, making it the city with the most reported alcoholics in the state, Patch.com reports. Though Patch lists Newark as being right behind at No. 2, the two large cities have the same number of reported alcoholics.The report was based off statistics provided by the Division of Addiction Services in the New Jersey Department of Human Services for the state's 565 towns. These stats only account, however, for recorded substance abuse treatment admissions.Bayonne also made their list of the 20 most alcoholism-plagued cities, coming in at No. 10 with 190 reported cases. Despite Hoboken's local reputation as the go-to place in Hudson to get a drink, the Mile Square City did not make the list with only 63 reported cases. See all the stats for Hudson County here.The list is dominated by urban, populated areas. For example, Trenton, Paterson and Elizabeth round out the top five.Patch.com notes that "Independence Day also has become the deadliest holiday weekend for alcohol-related traffic crashes--even ahead of New Year's Day."
