Auburn to publicly sell alcohol at athletics events for the first time in school history

Quote
Auburn will begin publicly selling alcohol at athletics events for the first time in school history at the men’s basketball team’s exhibition Wednesday against Auburn-Montgomery.

Auburn is the final SEC school to offer alcohol sales at athletic events.

There are seven concession stands at Neville Arena that will have food and alcohol sales, including multiple grab-and-go refrigerator stations.

The school is selling regular domestic and import beers, four craft beers, seltzers and canned wine.

For now, Auburn will be limiting alcohol sales to just Neville Arena. Auburn officials plan to rolling out alcohol sales at Jordan-Hare Stadium in future seasons.

Auburn released a statement to AL.com on the new concession stands:
“After extensive research and discussion, Auburn Athletics made the decision to begin public alcohol sales at Neville Arena for the 2023-24 athletic season which will be followed by gradual roll outs at other athletic venues throughout the year ahead. Currently, 84 percent of all power five schools have public offerings at their venues and Auburn is the last Southeastern Conference institution to implement public sales. Multiple studies show selling alcohol in athletic venues decreases binge drinking and creates a culture with fewer alcohol-related offenses on game day.

Not sure I agree with that last statement, but Huzzah!
People will still pre-game because they don't want to binge on $15 beers.

Not picking on you, Buzzy, cuz your my guy....but...I've seen this sentiment writ large across just about every topic.

In this case, the studies have been around a while.  They've been tested and re-tested.  Sorry you don't "think" it might work...but you're just wrong.  Is it a panacea?  No.  Will there always still be knuckleheads?  Yes.

On the whole, however, this is a harm-reduction strategy that works.

Fucking Dunning-Kruger-Trumpism is as bad as McD's employees who don't know if AL is a state.

I'm good with it, and don't think it will be an issue either way.  Despite some of the changes they claim to have made in JHS to make things more efficient, you don't do anything quick in that stadium.  If you want to down more than a couple of brewskies, you're going to spend the entire game going to the concessions, standing in line, and getting back to your seat. Just stuff a bottle of brown likker down in your dick.  Lord knows, I've got plenty of room down there to carry some in.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."
