We're pleased to present a quite amazing bit of research on Manhattan drinking and skankifying, with numbers crunched by our in-house statistician Andrew Krucoff. Andrew's report:

Gawker's team of highly-trained Data Scouts spent weeks and very small allowances collecting information and quantifying what the New York bar experience means to your wallet and the company you keep. Red dots represent bars (or clusters of bars) plotted by average drink cost and the presence of aberrant humanity. The inverse relationship is no surprise but watch out for those outliers. You could end up sharing a stool — or an unexpected mouthful of breast milk — with Courtney Love.
