Coeur d’Alene: Drunkest city in Idaho

The Web site 24/7 Wall Street has decided that Coeur d'Alene is the drunkest city in Idaho, based on several factors. But don't worry too much. Idaho is a tea-totaling state. "Drunk" Coeur d'Alene consumes a tick more than the national average:

"Adults in Idaho are less likely than the typical American to report unhealthy drinking habits. In Coeur d’Alene — the metro area with the highest excessive drinking rate in the state — only 18.1% of adults report drinking to excess in the past month, slightly higher than the corresponding national rate of 18.0%."

Question: Does it seem realistic to you that Coeur d'Alene is the drunkest state in Idaho?
