2. Making travel safer

If you’ve ever been to a Clemson football game, you know how bad traffic is afterwards.

Here is probably the biggest reason why Clemson won’t sell alcohol at its events: Why would they want to be blamed for an increased number of DUIs or wrecks due to those driving under the influence?

Right now, Clemson has no hand in anything like that.

Fans openly bring their own beer and they make their own individual choice. If Clemson started selling alcohol at Death Valley, they would then have a hand in it.

At the very least, they couldn’t say that they’ve done “everything they possibly could” to prevent anything from happening.

Whether you want to believe it or not, alcohol sales will lead to an increased number of tickets and wrecks. Several studies have shown that because *just like we said before* a couple of “bad eggs” ruin it for everyone.
