Editor's Note: Odyssey does not endorse operating a motor vehicle under the influence, nor adhering to the satirical game described below. If you chose to seriously play this game, you will have alcohol poisoning within 10 minutes. You've been warned.
Missoula is a sleeping little college town nestled in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of the great state of Montana. But you know what would make a this little place we call home more exciting? A ridiculous amount of alcohol. And what better way to express your love of Missoula and booze than to combine the two into a drinking game? Gather some friends (21+), your favorite local drink (I suggest Coldsmoke from Kettlehouse, or Quicksilver Vodka from Montgomery Distillery for the the full Missoula flavor), and prepare to not remember this day tomorrow!

Take a Shot...
Every time you see a "Co-Exist" bumper sticker
