Do you do it, and to what extent?

  1. Hell yeah; I'm more spirited with spirits (pickled)

  2. A little bit; mainly out of tradition and with spicy tailgating food (slightly buzzed)

    Its not a headache it is the second stages of dehydration, drink water throughout the day and you will be fine.

    We tailgate with children so we take that into account. One or two during the day while cooking and watching games and two or three on the way to the stadium. Primarily Silver Bullets and Red Stripe !

    $36 at a good happy hour would go further in the drinking game than at the game. I look back to the National Championship game and clown in front of me who passed out during that Jessica Simpson promotional.

    My problem with drinking is the inevitable onslaught of language. College graduates and students should have a wee bit more of a vocabulary than " fy you mf mf'er f'ing f".

    Hell yes I drink, but pace myself well so I don't to get drunk so where I don't remember the game.

    Yes, socially. Not enough to get wasted or anything, just enough to obtain a nice sense of well-being.

    I know a guy that usually has to be carried out after the game. (No, it's not me.)

    It might be my brother he passed out during the Florida game a couple years back.
    But in his defense he had been sick all week and tried to drink the same amount.

    Obviously, when I was in college (heh, even in high school), I was all in favor of getting "blasted" during tailgating and then sneak something inside the stadium (I think I was the only one that did that, right? :D) and continue it from there....

    But that all changed in a game vs Kentucky (either '95 or '96, I can't specifically remember) where I had worked myself into a huge headache right before heading into the stadium. I asked my friends if any of them had some Advil and one of them handed me two....but he didn't tell me they weren't Advil (or any form of headache relief) until after I had taken them.

    So, not 5 minutes after the opening kickoff, I'm completely passed out in the student section. Drinking beer from 8am until 5:30 pm and being tricked into taking 2 Valium tends to do that to a 19 year old.... :cool:

    Didn't remember a damn thing about that game, so I vowed never to get that drunk (to have to ask for Advil before midnight) ever again....
