ThePreciating Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 As you know, tailgate lots are not opening early this year due to overly intoxicated fans last year. So, what I want to know is how ES is feeling when you walk into the skins game? Feel free to elaborate - do you drink more when we suck? Do you drink more when we're good? etc. etc. ---------- Post added September-6th-2011 at 12:15 PM ---------- As the weather gets colder, I tend to drink more. Early tailgate lots definitely had me in near blackout states, but I'm a very peaceful drunk, albeit a loudly cheering one. My problem is I become a hero. Drunk heroes are no good.

The Cowboy Bamma Rocker Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I drink more when I have a good group of people I'm going with. I'm not a belligerent drunk and I know my limit, so I don't feel too irresponsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Totally sober. I don't drink at sporting events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Somewhere between buzzed and sloppy if I go to games. I guess just your casual drunk guy. I'm a happy drunk so I'm good either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I usually have a beer or 2. Maybe a shot of something at the tailgate if people are feeling friendly. I'd say I barely qualify for the "buzz" category, but only because I'm not 100% stone sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakinaiken Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 afternoon and primetime games i get pretty sloppy, but never at the expense of detracting the experience of others. Its more due to my age group and the friends that accompany me to games... we're still in that "i can drink more than you bro" phase a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 For college games I usually don't remember the first half. For NFL games I only get a little buzzed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampEm Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 As you know, tailgate lots are not opening early this year due to overly intoxicated fans last year. Where is that posted? The lots are still opening four hours prior to kickoff as usual. We had two night games last year that allowed for extra tailgating, but we have zero night games (as of now) that are scheduled for this season. Please tell me where a Redskins official said that lots are opening less than four hours prior to kickoff because fans were overly intoxicated.

SkinsHomer Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 When I went to games regularly, I always was pretty buzzed going in, and maintained that buzz the whole game. I never got too bad because, well, there's no reason, but also I was always WAY up there and I had this fear of killing myself on those steep ass stairs. However, that game some years back against the Bears in December when JC dislocated his knee cap. It was so cold that night, beer was freezing in our beer pong cups in the parking lot before the game. I busted my ass on black ice in the parking lot at least a half dozen times. I was blackout hammered that night. Those 400 level seats are FREEZING in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I can't see straight, there is this scene in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", where both of them are trying to go through the turnstiles on ether. Yeah that's how I get, its a horrible site. I drink more at the tailgates then I ever did in college. Mainly because in college i was broke, now I can actually buy top shelf liquor. Plus peer pressure is mixed in too..that's why I like watching the games at home. When I go to a game, I can't even remember watching the game or what happened.

Stugein Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sober. I have some drinks at the tailgate, but I'm always on level before I head into the stadium. I think the employees should be given more power and leeway to turn away obviously intoxicated fans at the gate. Drinking before and at a game is fine, but there is never an excuse for someone to be falling down, cursing, vomiting drunk. People like that can ruin the experience for everyone.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Haven't had a drink before the game. I usually have an 8 hour drive home. I dont really need the beer to enjoy the game but i might have a few this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I gota' ask the OP and one or two others who've been in the 'blackout' stage ..... why? I'm certainly no novice when it comes to sporting events, or drinking before, during and after them; all over England and the vast majority of Country's in Europe. Given we only have 16 NFL games a year, and a few more in the post season if we're lucky; by shear duration of season my game going attendance would blow any 'Skins fans out of the water I'd venture over the years. And the length and breath of dedication (or downright stupidity dependent on your view point) going to not only other Country's, but other Continents following my team would blow most away. All following one of the World's, and England's, most successful soccer teams, Liverpool FC. My home town team. I'm a Scouser. I come from a drinking culture. And boy do we know how to party at games, particularly big ones. So I certainly get the drinking aspect of tailgating. But I've NEVER gotten to the state where I can't remember what I've paid (or not over the years like you wouldn't believe, but that's a whole set of other story's) hard earned money to watch. To me, that TOTALLY defeats the object to get so bladdered you can't remember the next day what you've been to see. When you get to that state, that's just drinking for drinking's sake for me. I honestly don't get it. If someone can explain the point of getting to such a state, I'd love to hear your reasoning. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Mine is usually either a little buzzed or I wouldn't drive a car right now. Depends on if I have a DD or not. I have gone overboard before and always regret it, so as one who lives in a glass house I'll refrain from throwing stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberOsaka Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is a thread that may be better with pictures...I am sure that there are enough incriminating pics floating around ES. ---------- Post added September-6th-2011 at 03:46 PM ---------- Mine is usually either a little buzzed or I wouldn't drive a car right now.

RichmondRedskin88 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't understand the Blackout option. I only drink a few beers but that doesn't mean cowboy fans are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Since I am usually a vistor in Tampa and this year Miami, I find that a good buzz but not wasted helps, added to that a good sense of humor. ---------- Post added September-6th-2011 at 03:48 PM ---------- I don't understand the Blackout option.

I can only speak for myself, but when it has happened, it was not something I set out or planned to do. I was there with a bunch of really good friends all bringing unique and some unusual drinks and I start off trying them and before you know it your goin downhill like a runaway snowball, and then bam your out of it. The when you realize how drunk you were, you're like OH ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 One or two drinks. I am more excited about seeing the game than drinking. I can drink at another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'Em84 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Usually pretty sloppy, but I don't drink in the stadium, and I'm hardly ever an angry drunk. Even if I do become angry, I'm always an obedient drunk. I may want to fight, but if someone tells me no, I stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 By the time I am at the pat down I am shotgunning my last beer that I've taken from my car to the stadium and I have eaten as much as I want to eat for the next 3.5 hours. I'm not giving that money grubbing charlatan any more of my hard earned money than I have to to see the game in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
