Erm, OK. It's not about "doing the right thing" ... it's just how people, even those who have been drinking, typically act. When folks tailgate, as it gets closer to game time, they often up their intake, until they're pounding some beers/shots before heading in.
For those at the game, how did beer sales go?

That's not at all true, but I understand you're trying to convey not to drive after drinking a lot, just because you feel you've sobered up enough. But just about everyone who drinks, has had a beer when out to eat and then driven home, and some amount of alcohol is still in their system, even though they're not impaired.
The Islanders Sebastion Aho got a DUI back in Sweden this summer while driving home in the morning after sleeping off a night of drinking. His BAC was .02, so some countries have laws that believe any alcohol in the system is an impairment.
I did get in line to grab a beer at one point Saturday, then realized I didn’t need it and it was just plain miserable weather and that beer wasn’t going to help that so I passed.
wow, $240-$300 in revenue. Heck we spent a lot less smuggling in a bottle of rum and buying cokes back in the early 70’s.
His BAC was .03, and the limit was .02 ... so even there, you could have under .02 and still be deemed OK with some alcohol in your system.
Yet we’ve somehow been brazen enough to sell waters for all these years…
That’s like $250+ of overpriced crap beer. People waste their money in weird ways.

There you go. I knew it was something like that. He must have been hammered pretty well the night before.
Well, if this is the heightened appeal for beer at the games....so be it.
Burbon... great taste, less filling.
Can you imagine the amount of beer spillage in a packed house Beaver Stadium?
Then we're talking about more than just the drinkers getting beer muscles.
It has been fine in college stadiums for quite awhile now. Not many people are going to be throwing full or nearly fully 10 and 12 dollar aluminum cans. It would take one hell of a cannon to throw an empty even crushed that could do damage or even reach the field.
That’s also a hell of a clip. Let’s say 9, 16 oz. beers in 3 hours or so and were talking about a 12-pack each. Honestly, that doesn’t seem likely.

Was it free replica beer can day or something? That is just more strange than anything could be expected. Maybe they were selling skunked beers. Players didn't seem scared. I realize they get opened at the event on purchase usually but no explosions or anything?
Edit: 6 OT in conference Finals. Had to.have stopped serving way before. Not too hard to reach the ice in a rink. The water bottles look scarier. Still though, wtf.

LMAO at people paying 10-12 bucks for a Miller Lite or Michelob Ultra. Hell they could have just opened their mouth and let the rain fall in for free.
No beer sales after the 3rd quarter. With 4th quarters running about an hour and a half you might be sober enough to drive when you get back to your car.
With the "pace" of the game this past Sat. that was certainly true. I know I was wet and getting cranky but I swear that was one of the longest games I"ve sat through, especially the first half. Ughhh.
It was crazy. I’m guessing the vast majority were empty because like you said, it was OT. It was also the last game the Isles ever played at the Coliseum, so I think that was the big reason for the odd, over the top reaction.
Replace the beer with lattes. People won’t throw lattes, and the caffeine will keep fans energized. Class up Beaver Stadium.
Yeah, they should ban tailgating too, since most people drink at them.
I say with a high degree of sarcasm.
Lots of fun police here. Sad!

Places that require this are an epic disaster. The lines are ridiculously long as you wait for every can to be poured into a cup, and you double the waste and trash. If they want to require cups then they need to put in draft beer stations only. Pouring into cups creates a logistical nightmare.
You guys must have it good in PA. Tallboys for $10 at a stadium isn't that bad of a deal. At my local MLS stadium a tallboy of our favorite local craft beer is $19.LMAO at people paying 10-12 bucks for a Miller Lite or Michelob Ultra.

I agree...when you look at the markup on a bottle of water at $4, the markup on the beers are a relative bargain.
Plus the addition 2-3 hours you sit in your car to get out of the lot.No beer sales after the 3rd quarter. With 4th quarters running about an hour and a half you might be sober enough to drive when you get back to your car.
Empty cans don't make much of a missile. Now, a half-full one is another story.
That's the best time to fire the grill back up and watch everyone leave.
