And about half drank alcohol during the games. Does this bother you?

‰ of NFL, MLB, NHL are on PEDs. That's still less than scripted stunt UFC, MMA, WWE of 100%.
only 8%? I'm shocked it's so low.
Yeah, me too. I would have thought it was higher than 8 percent.
Obviously I've never breathalized someone leaving the stadium but I have been to my fair share of NFL games and I would have guessed more like 20-30% leave the stadium drunk. I'm pretty sure the typical NFL team sells about 1 beer per person on average.
If we increased the legal limit to 0.15 I bet we could bring this number way down and put an end to this problem.
No, it doesn't bother me anymore than the number of college students who drink to excess weekends. Except atudents brag about it; apparently runners more so.
A drunk is a drunk, whether a sports fan, a college student on the weekend white collar/blue collar lushes.
Bottoms up!
Go to a rock/metal concert if you want to see some drunk people leaving.
I think at least 8 percent SHOW UP to the games drunk.

Were you hammered when you wrote this? That was poorly written.
and 60% of distance runners are gay. Does this bother you?

It does. We must increase the availability of beer! We can do better.
You'd have to be drunk to watch that time
I might go and take a chug every time the game stops for 'football'. On 2nd thoughts you would be carried out pretty soon...count me in!
You do know prohibition finished a while back?
It would be a lot higher if beers did not cost $7 each.
Legally drunk?
If it's legal, what's the problem?
That doesn't seem high at all. Imagine after a European soccer game, they'd be lucky if 8% are sober.
I went to an NHL game where I was pretty sure my girlfriend and I were the only people who were NOT drunk.
This cannot be an accurate figure. The games (NFL) are only 3 hours long, and I bet 25% of the fans are well over the legal limit before the game begins - and they continue to pound during the game.
I don't know how anyone can sit through a baseball game without a major buzz - geezus what a bore.
Go to Neyland Stadium on Knoxville for a Vols game. 8% is probably the amount of people leaving who are sober. Of course if I cheered for that piece of shit program I'd drink more too.
Much lower that I would have guessed

Other results from Erickson’s study found:
•Fans under 35 years of age have nine times greater odds of having BAC levels above the limit of .08.
•Those who drink at tailgating parties have 14 times greater odds of being legally drunk, compared to fans who had not tailgated.
•Nearly one in four attendees who tailgated reported consuming five or more alcoholic beverages while tailgating.
•Those who were in the highest BAC category reported consuming, on average, 6.6 drinks while tailgating compared with 3.7 drinks and 2.8 drinks for those in the mid-range BAC category and the zero BAC category, respectively.
•Night game attendees had higher odds of having a mid-range BAC (not above the legal limit), but they were not significantly more likely to have a BAC above the legal limit.
