[Air Force Cat]

Bozeman was ranked the 5th drunkest town in the US, closely behind Butte at #4

Seems weird there are no towns in the us between bozeman and butte.

It's only because North Dakota State came to town (Fargo is No. 3 on the list).

I'm starting to think that montana is the only one that participates in these surveys. Last year billings was the third drunkest city in the US behind Reno and Fresno. I have contributed to Billings drunkness a few times but i'm not buying billings,bozeman, and butte being in the top five for the last two years.

Montanans drink. A lot.

Frankly after being away, I see some things about the culture of drinking in Montana that is probably unhealthy. And this is coming from a guy who is anything but a teetotaler.

Uh oh. They're going to give us more stupid liquor laws here. It appears to be working.....

Yeah, we drink. But we also run/ ski/ hike/ kayack/ mountain bike/ road bike/ play hockey to offset it. I'm always struck by how athletic and fit Bozemanites are when I travel somewhere else and see so many overweight Americans.

I'll agree with GiW though, drinking in Montana is unlike anywhere else, mostly the nonchalance about grabbing a beer for the road.

Bozeman is like a real life beer commercial!

It's true. The average Montanan drinks more than most people, but we can also handle it better. Most of us don't think of 4-5 drinks as that many, but apparently it is. Oh well.

Maybe if we get 3 home playoff games we can get to number ONE!

Obviously, people in other towns basically either lie, or were never asked. Gotta admire the honesty of Bozeman and Butte residents.
