A sobering report, according to Bloomberg:
[Bloomberg] One in 10 Sports Fans Legally Drunk By Time They Leave Stadium After Games
Almost one in 10 sports fans has a blood alcohol content above the legal limit as they exit the stadium after football and baseball games, a study found.
There are 100 stadiums in the U.S. that schedule 5,000 games each year attended by more than 130 million fans, according to a report today in the journal Alcoholism. The New Meadowlands stadium, where the New York Giants football team plays, has a capacity of 82,500. If this study holds, about 6,600 people, or 8 percent, leave drunk after watching a game.Just a reminder, kids: Behave yourselves at these games. Use public transportation when possible, and please don't drink and drive.
