I grew up fairly close to Columbus as well. My town was a REAL farm town. I was just putting Columbus in perspective to college cities or major metro areas is all. No offense.
Also spent some time about 30 miles from Ft Collins-Greeley
Never lived in Lincoln but spent many a nights with friends in college there.
Good thing I moved to Minnesota. Who knows how bad I would have gotten
Interesting. I live in Greeley. What small town outside of Cbus did you live in?
And no worries, Columbus was/is definitely agriculturally centered, I just was not aware of that fact when I lived there. I went to Columbus High and I think most all of the farm kids went to Lakeview. Since that was a few miles out of town, it just didn't seem like part of Columbus to me.
I would guess if they ranked states, Minnesota would have to easily be in the top ten for alcohol consumption so it could still get pretty "bad"
