People caps would be on fire, think about it you are sitting by a Bama fan and drunk and behind 35-7 in the fourth quarter, what else would a drunk have to do but cause trouble, in my day I would have been one of them, past me by getting old I guess.:)

Responsible alcohol consumption is never a problem. Excessive consumption to the point of distractive public intoxication should be met with immediate incarceration and exorbitant fines.

Just think about it. Athletic Department needs money, sells alcohol at events to open up one avenue of revenue, partners with UTPD to gain a portion of fines from intoxication arrests for another avenue on the backside.

That way, you get money from the decent people once and the dregs of society twice. No more funding problems.

Why does everyone assume selling beers automatically means people will be just black out drunk in the game? They sell alcohol in stores, but not everyone in the world is blackout drunk.

Will you have some people get sloppy? yeah. are some people already sloppy despite us not selling it? yeah.

I'd rather a guy come in and buy beers than sneak in airplane bottles of jack.

Possibly because many of us have seen it happen. There's nothing like the sound and stench of some poor sot wretching in a nearby seat because they're not personally responsible enough to handle it.

And while there is intense training for those selling alcohol because of the high level of liability involved, it's almost impossible to stop the morally bankrupt individuals who send their equally bankrupt sober friend to buy them more beer after they've been cut off.

Does that mean it shouldn't be sold? Absolutely not. It just means we should do a better job of policing each other and having the mature morale fiber to cut someone off even if we don't know them.

You left out the part where I said that already happens in the stadium without making any money off of it.

We've got kids throwing up in the stadium already, might as well make money off of it.

I would sell alcohol, then hire more security for each section to monitor the fans.

Look, I've just created jobs and made money for the school.

You should of saw the drunk kids flying kites with their penises. You'd get more of that kind of stuff. I'm surprised they didn't get bobbitized by the 50 mph winds and kite string.

Booze would be great! During those hot September games we will have more rookie students passing out in the stadium from heat stroke, dehydration, and stupidity.

But for real booze at CFB is great. I went to a few USF games a few years back and they played in the Tampa Bay stadium. I was pretty awesome. I don't know who won that game though.

Right... Neyland would be 3/4 empty by the beginning of the 4th quarter with UTPD arresting everyone to drive revenue. Hell, the AD would have to use Thompson-Boling as a jail.

While I'm for the sale of alcohol during games, I would still have my flask of Jack!

The price could become a limiting factor of excessive consumption and encourage responsible drinking.

That was about as much as it was to get a drink at one of the budget resorts at Walt Disney World last year. All the drinks were eight dollars plus. It's getting expensive to drink anywhere nowadays.

Until people stop buying beer at 8 bucks a glass, they will continue to sell it that high. It's a monopoly at stadiums, so they charge the highest that people are willing to pay.

I would never spend more than $4 for a 12oz bud light, and I would only do that when I was already hammered.
