  • I am personally disgusted by the $8 beers, it is ridiculous. Most aren't getting drunk in the game, they are getting shithammered before hand so they don't have to shell out 8 bucks a pop for a small beer the vendors call large. It has gotten completely out of hand and should be regulated as far as price increase goes.

    The closer to game time it gets, the more folks start pounding and then carrying three or four pops until they can go no farther, than they shotgun them basically.

    I'm telling you, if the cost of beers inside the stadium was a decent and fair cost, I bet it would cut down on the drunkenness before the game. The stadium would still make money because of increased sales, just the profit margin wouldn't be as big. It is a crying shame what it costs to drink a friggen small beer inside a football game or any sporting event.

  • they might be able to get the battery case from the couple themselves, but they won't get a dime from the bengals organization unless they want to avoid the PR and settle with them out of court. Although it is technically negligence for serving drunk people more alcohol, sadly it's basically impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt because everyone is intoxicated at a different level and act in a different manner. If it was bars across the country would be shutting down on a daily basis due to lawsuits. My bet is that they settle with them though.

    But seriously, what does the NFL expect to happen as people said when beers are $6-8? alcohol sales are the biggest double standard in the world when it comes to sports teams. I don't blame people at all for coming in drunk, hell the price for a grown man to fill a buzz is almost the price of the ticket, especially down here in charlotte haha

    I disagree.

    While on leave just before discharge, I went to a Indians game where beers were a nickel, and there was a riot,

    LoL, that's not what I meant Peens, but you knew that.

    But it wasn't.

    That response tells me you are avoiding the issue or you don't care about a family member.

    I assume you are avoiding the question.

    Yeah just lazy. Leaving this thread now.

    Well Riff, you're totally telling it like it is- but real world, I don't know if dropping the price of beers to $4 would make that much a difference in fan buying practices. You get it down to corner bar prices of $2 and it might- BUT IMHO there's no way in hell the owners (who in most part own all the concession gravy) are going to take that much of a hit to the gravy train. Doing so I wouldn't be surprised it would cost them a million a game in booze revenue. I'm sure their ultraslick accountants know exactly what the threshold is where further jacking up the prices will result in a net drop in revenue. Like if they upped the price of beer to $20 a can, they wouldn't be selling very much, would they?

    I suppose to appease 'Peen, they should institute some sort of "stagger in" rule. If you can't walk in under your own power (that's not counting ADA rules) you don't get in. Have to get me a wheelchair. 🙂

    I must have been drinking more than nickel beer last night because I don't remember typing that last night, though i do remember typing that is another thread maybe 2 years ago.

    Strange.

  • it's the idiots that can't hold their liquor that gives the rest of us drunks bad names. if i'm feelin that 'toasty' the last place i would want to be is at a stadium where every move you make is being scrutinized (i guess in this case it wouldn't have been a bad idea) and you can't even smoke anymore. we usually leave at halftime (ny football) and head right for our local dive bar via public transportation 😉.

    i say the military should start up the draft again so these guys can learn how to drink like real professionals. then send them to germany to get a real kick in the ass with their beer. (yes i was a newbie and got a bootfull of beer in my face on my first night out there............good shit! 🙂 ).

    I will repost this..............

    At the 1999 inaugural at CBS, a couple drunken boobs were sitting behind me, KS, Eric and Doug. Every two minutes they were leaving their seats to pee and get more beer. At one point they knocked their beer over and it rolled down the back of Kathy's seats.

    She got up, turned back, looked them square in the eye and told them she didn't care to bathe in their beer and if they spilled another drop she would personally shove the beer where the sun doesn't shine. They tried to apologize but before the one guy could utter a complete sentence, KAthy got in his face and repeated her warning, making sure they verbally acknowledged her complaint.

    I don't think the poor bastards let their seats until week 7 on the season.

    lolol. I'd forgotten about that.

  • There are wildly diverse flavors of drunk. I love to drink plenty of beer at games, but you can only get it so fast and they cut it off after the third quarter. Best I can do is a fun buzz.

    BUT... I don't drink before the games, partially because my amigos are usually my sons. When I do go with a friend, we tend to get to the game earlier and get in a few more beers, but we're adult males and that's not gonna make us do crazy shit or anything.

    The problem children are basically blind drunk when they walk in the gates. They have that lost look already.
