No matter how buttoned up someone is in his day to day, it's normal to occasionally let loose. While the definition of fun varies for everyone, many adults turn to a handful of vices to blow off steam. Although some activities are best enjoyed in moderation, sometimes moderation is exactly what you need a break from.

The teams at FindTheHome and FindTheCompany wanted to identify the best city in each state to free yourself from inhibitions. To do this, they used 2015 Dun & Bradstreet data to calculate the Vice Score, which aggregates the density of gambling establishments, liquor stores, adult entertainment venues, dating and escort services, and body piercing and tattoo shops per 10,000 people. Cities that met the 95th percentile or higher in population size in their states, according to 2014 American Community Survey data, were included in this analysis. They then identified the city in each state with the highest Vice Score and ranked them from low to high. For each city, they include the Vice Score, population size and the most accessible local vice.

Note: The Vice Score was rounded to two decimal points. True ties are denoted with an asterisk.
