The cups in these ZIP codes runneth way over.
A Post analysis of state liquor licenses by ZIP code has zeroed in on the booziest blocks, with the East Village’s 10003 rising to the top of the suds-soaked list.
There were 474 bars, restaurants and corner stores licensed to sell hooch in the hood, beating out Times Square and Hell’s Kitchen.
Those who live in the city’s cocktail capital have increasingly had enough of the day-to-night debauchery.
“It’s like a red-light district,” said Andrew Coamey, 44, a CFO who lives in the East Village. “It’s honking cabs all night. It’s like a bad, disturbing dream.”
Community Board 3 has voted down a series of applications for liquor licenses in recent months, including a high-profile music venue planned for the old Aces & Eights bar on Avenue A.
The board has also drawn up a list of 20 strips where new bars must show an overwhelming “public benefit” in order to be approved.
Farther north, two ZIP codes on the East Side — 10022 and 10016 — cracked the top 10 for drinking destinations. Community Board 6 is now mulling a crackdown on area bar crawls.
On the West Side, residents of the ZIP code that straddles Chelsea and Greenwich Village are trying to beat back the bingeing — with mixed success.
The 10011 ZIP code has the most active AA groups, with 34 organizations meeting several times a week, according to listings from the Inter-Group Association of Alcoholics Anonymous of New York, a resource center.
The creatively named groups include Prime Time NYC, Sobriety on the Square, and Village Sober & Over 60.
The 10011 area is also home to the city’s highest concentration of self-declared binge drinkers, with nearly a third of those surveyed by the city in 2009 reporting throwing back at least five drinks in one spell that month.
Other big binge-drinking districts included East Harlem, the Upper East Side and Gramercy, plus Greenpoint and Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
All the excess could be chalked up to bars’ pushing booze on every block.
“It becomes too easy and accessible when there’s a bar on every corner,” said Dr. Peter Kanaris, coordinator of public education for the New York State Psychological Association.
Stress is also a big trigger for binge drinking, especially among the career driven, Kanaris added.
