Travelers trying to make their way home Sunday from Budweiser's Whatever USA — or Crested Butte — faced serious hindrances after a weekend of beer-drinking and partying.

"There's literally 1,000 young drunk/hungover kids in this Gunnison, Colo. airport that's the size of a gas station," Taylor Howard, an event attendee, posted Sunday on Twitter.
Authorities in Crested Butte said the actual gathering -- which included concerts, celebrities and, of course, lots and lots of beer -- went off without any major problems. It wasn't until the end when attendees started preparing to leave on chartered jets that the headaches began.
