Drunkest City in Oklahoma

[Jason Freeland]

Back about 40 years a go my Mom worked at a convenience store in Gotebo. She has told me several times that they regularly sold more beer than fuel.
If I had to guess I’d say Valley Brook might be in the running in the most drunk city in Oklahoma.

Was going to suggest Valley Brook, in my youth I contributed to its economy on an intermittent basis.

Both Norman and Stillwater have cleaned up their drinking districts from back in the day. Mostly due to changes in social expectations. Not saying it doesn’t go on. Just not epic like before.

I don’t know about Stillwater, but Norman has been oddly quiet on the drinking establishment front, especially for a major college town, for as long as I can recall. Friends theorized that it was due to the proximity of OKC, but I don’t really know why.

I think the main thing that killed Norman's drinking is when Sugars closed down. I mean, if you've ever been there, you know you have to drink a LOT to enjoy the girls that danced there.
