Hound No and don’t think I’ve ever had more than a couple of pints before a match either because it just seems a bit of a weird thing to be hammered watching a football match, sitting around in a cold stand watching us be rubbish
I kind of get why it’s ‘popular’ what with the price of booze in pubs and the youth just wanting to do their thing on away trips. It’s a bad mix though - can see why it’d lead to trouble

Hendo I don't think getting drunk at a pub is the same as getting drunk at footballMadness for anyone to consider that the same thing.

Because if you're going to football, you're going to an event which not everyone is drinking at and doesn't actually require alcohol to enjoy (although this season...). Whereas if you're going to a pub, the drinking is usually the event, the likelihood is that having a few pints and getting drunk is the end goal, along with everyone else there, without anything else planned after, unless its more drinking.

Do you think it's weird to get drunk at a festival, or get drunk in a pub? Because getting drunk in both those things its much the same as getting drunk watching a game of football.
You socialise with your friends, drink alcohol because it makes you feel nice and relaxed, and you have live sport / live music / chat with friends to entertain you.
Drinking at football has the added benefit of taking the edge off the cold. It's not actually very normal behaviour for human beings to sit/stand still outdoors in winter for extended period of time.

Sanguine Sure, but I think the point that Hound succinctly makes at the end there, is that those people being at the football is rather incidental too. They could literally be anywhere and have the same 'good time'.

St Pauli The 'losing your inhibitions' bit with alcohol is part of the football away day experience though as well isn't it?
Calling/singing that a load of northerners are c/nts, or an opposition coach is a paedo, claiming that your struggling championship side is the best team in the world seems like a pretty moronic and childish thing to do sober, but when you've had a few down you it makes a whole lot more sense.
