Interesting to see Gallatin County (Bozeman, MT) being #1

I am also pretty sure we have the highest rate of fatal drinking + driving incidents. [1]

Our breweries also close at 8pm and you can get a maximum of three drinks. However, you can just go to the nearest bar / casino / liquor store (its the same place) and drink until 2am. Pretty backwards.

It's also insanely cost prohibitive to get just a beer + wine license in Bozeman. A full liquor license is almost a magnitude more expensive. I heard the local Texas Roadhouse paid 1.4 million for their full license.

[1] The scale of Montana is insane. Its about 1.5 times the size of England with 2% of the population. When were driving to the next town over it can be 45 minutes and you can happily pass cops cruising at 90. Mix this with alcohol and you have a lot of bad accidents.




Wyoming blows my mind for a similar reason.. 100k square miles, half a million people.


why do they drink so much there? boredom?
