Alcohol and Sporting Events
I found a very intersting study from the University of Minnesota published earlier this year. As a DUI attorney I thought the results were quite interesting. Do you think the numbers would be the same here in Boise?
Summary
- Researchers conducted breathalyzer exams on a total of 362 adults after 13 baseball games and three football games. Sixty percent of fans tested had a blood alcohol content level (BAC) of zero, 40 percent had a BAC under the legal driving limit of .08, and of that group, 8 percent blew above that legal limit.
- 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.
