According to a new study conducted by Slots Paradise, Atlanta is the #1 ‘most sober-curious city in the United States.’
This might come as a little bit of a shock, since Atlanta has such a prominent club and nightlife scene–but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of people curious about the sober lifestyle!
How did they conduct this research?
Slots Paradise says,
To determine our ranking, we identified the 250 largest U.S. cities based on population size and used census data to find the number of drinking places in each city. We then used Keyword Tool to analyze a number of search terms relating to sober and non-alcoholic drinks, identifying their search volume per 10,000 people and search trends over the past 12 months in each city. Additionally, we identified the average price of a mocktail in each city and determined the average cost of wellness retreats in the ranked cities. We also determined which states are the most sober-curious by analyzing the percentage of binge drinkers per state and analyzing search volume for “sober” & “mocktail” per 100,000 people.
