5. It takes away from the game

I’ve been to enough Clemson football games to know that there are fans that leave the game with no clue what just happened.

It’s not because they don’t know football, either.

What’s the point of showing up to a game and not even remembering what happened the day before? Now, obviously that’s every single fan’s individual choice.

But, from many different sporting events, I’ve seen where alcohol takes away from the game.

You have someone that can’t handle it and it takes people’s focus off of the game and the athletes and, instead, on that person.

This also is what leads to incidents like South Carolina where you have fans throwing stuff at players. With no alcohol sales, people tend to focus more on the game and what’s going on the field.
