Miners were a rough group living in hard conditions so they drank and went to the saloons. There is a gold rush town named Hangtown ( still exists today) where the judge hung men for breaking the law. Every gold town had a jail because the miners would gamble, drink, and visit prostitutes. The gold rush towns had very few families and were mainly all men. If you are on the west coast you can visit a state of California historical site called Columbia that is a preserved gold rush town. It is free to visit and even has picnic tables for having a nice lunch.
