    I don't know. I think it's interesting to see our intuitions confirmed with hard data. But I'm that type.

    I wonder if anybody has ever done a study of DUI arrests near stadiums following games?

    Unfair. Us non-sports fans get drunk at home too.

    This is slanted.

    Real fans are drunk long before the game starts.

    And what about people at sports bars.
    Just because the Jets fans weren't getting tanked up at the Meadowlands doesn't mean they weren't overunning bars across New York and North Jersey chanting J-E-T-S Jets, Jets Jets!
    And starting fights.

    After all, you drink just as hard as the guy/gal in the stadium.
