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.

Production and recording

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."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
