Drunk Enough to Dance is the fourth studio album and second major label album by American rock band Bowling for Soup. It was recorded from 2001 to 2002 at Tree Sound Studios and Sonica Recording in Atlanta and Big Time Audio in Dallas.
After a UK, Canada and midwest U.S. tour to promote their album " Let's Do It for Johnny! ", the band ventured out to film the new Britney Spears film Crossroads . After filming, they would head to Atlanta in October 2001 to record their next new album. The album was produced by Butch Walker, formerly of Marvelous 3.
In a newsletter from the band on January 9, 2002, Reddick said they "recorded 14 songs and that the album would contain a bonus track "Greatest Day"... and hopefully a song or two that Butch and I write next month... the import will have three more song that we did here in Dallas last month." [1]
It was released August 6, 2002 through Jive Records. [2] The single, "Girl All the Bad Guys Want," was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2003 in the "Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal" category. A re-release in 2003 added: "Punk Rock 101"; a cover of 1980s new wave band A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran (So Far Away)"; and "Star Song". There is an acoustic version of the song "Belgium" at the very end of the album.
"Punk Rock 101" was released as a radio single on May 20, 2003. [3] Between late June and early August, the group appeared on the Warped Tour. [4] The album is certified Silver in the U.K., having sold over 60,000 copies.

Each version of the album has a number tracks that are five-to-six seconds of complete silence, titled "[Blank]," between the last song and "Belgium." The number of blank tracks varies upon the version, but "Belgium" is track 28 on all versions except for the Japanese Edition, where it is on track 20 after "Other Girls". There is about 1 minute of silence in between both songs.
