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)

    It's a tough call. I mean, having a good buzz tends to heighten the adrenalin rush one gets when watching a game involving your favorite team, but it makes it hard to remember all the details the next day.

    Naw, I always put them away when watching the Tigers. Just seems like the thing to do.

    i dont have a problem with who drinks or who does what, but I am a football geek, so I know that I want to be in the game as much as I can.

    I want to be reading defenses, looking at formations etc, (like I can do anything about that stuff) hehe

    But yeah... I stay sober for football, b/c I love the sport so much that I want to be watching the game.

    That quote pretty much defines my goal on gamedays but there are a couple of instances where we had a few too many. Wjen I was in school (Dinardo yrs), I was used to drinking for longer periods of time and more conditioned for it. Now that I typically only have a few drinks/beers on weekends, I realized in the past couple of years that my perception of pacing myself is different.

    Now that I think about it, maybe the fact that I don't try to brings flasks in anymore actually makes me drink too much. After the bank marches down the hill, we usually go back to the car for about half an hour and power drink (Krewe Ragoo and others wouldn't call it power drinking, maybe more like 'one last drink'). Anyway, I think I need to spend a night at home power drinking (in safety) to get me ready for North Texas.

    I usually get there around 7 a.m. and start drinking around 8, so I get pretty lit during the day but I quit early enough to kinda sober up so I can watch the game. The only time that I got really f'ed up was the georgia game when gameday was there and I starting drink Crown around 9 a.m. What a headache at halftime.
