Boozeton, Massachusetts: The North End, Chinatown & Harvard Square Like to Drink [Maps]

Given that Boston was just ranked the drunkest city in America (woo!), these latest maps from our friends over at Bostonography are very fitting. The site’s cartographers, Tim Wallace and Andy Woodruff, analyzed liquor licenses across the state of Massachusetts, both by neighborhood and by population.

Here’s a look at the density of liquor licenses across the Boston-area. The redder the area, the more liquor licenses exist in that area. Basically, if you wanna get drunk, head to the North End, Chinatown or Harvard Square.

Here’s another map that analyzes each block’s proximity to an establishment with a liquor license, based on walking distance. Again, the deeper the red, the closer that location is to a liquor license. Keep this map near and dear to your heart — it will certainly come in handy when choosing the location of your next apartment.

Finally, this last map is a people per license map, which shows the local areas where supply is exceeding demand, explains Wallace. Again, the darker the red, the more liquor licenses per person. And again, a great map to have on handy when choosing a place to call home. Also, the airport has a lot of booze. Duh.
