According to roadsnacks.net, Manchester is the drunkest city in Iowa. The ranking is based off of statistics on number of bars and pubs per capita, number of wineries per capita, number of liquor stores per capita, each city’s drunk-related Tweets within the past week, and each city’s divorce rate. It looks like Manchester has been naughty, so it's probably safe to say that they are getting a check mark next to their name on Santa's "naughty list."

And according to the same data, Adams County is the third unhealthiest county in the state. But hey, are we really going to take health advice from someone who stuffs their face with cookies and milk for a living?

But really though, who is Santa to judge us?! This is the same guy that breaks into other people’s houses, steals their food, and doesn’t even bother to take off his boots before he tramps around your house late at night. Should we really let this guy tell us who’s naughty or nice?! I think not.
