I just saw a picture of a baseball stadium and the parking lot was like 5x bigger than the stadium. How do people manage to get wasted AND get home.

Excuse my naivety but I’m from Europe where people take the train usually and the hope is that the train conductor isn’t a drunk dad coming from the game. Plus we don’t have baseball.

Are drunk driving laws just not that strict in the US? Iirc you lose about 0.01%BAC per hour. One beer will give you like 0.05%*, which is also the upper limit of blood alcohol where I live. If you have a second beer, that means it'd take like 5 hours until you're able to drive again. Are baseball games this long?

*to be fair, this'd be lower the heavier you are

One beer will give you like 0.05%*

Maybe if you shotgun it on an empty stomach or something.

With the weight of the average American, and the abv of the average American Miller Lite, one beer ain't gonna get you anywhere near .05.

I used my own weight and type of beer for reference, but fair enough that that's not representative!

Still, do they limit it to 2 beers then?

[–] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Beer at stadiums in America are like $15 each, I'm sure that stops some overconsumption

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Holy shit that's bad, that's bring-a-flask territory for me

I think they limit to 2 per transaction (been awhile since I've been to a ballgame), but that definitely wouldn't stop you from handing those to your wife and going to the next stall over and buying two more, or coming back for more after the next inning.

As another commenter said, in baseball they usually stop all alcohol sales after the 7th inning. I'd guess they do similar with other sports. I can see that being enough time to be largely ok to drive (especially by the time you hoof it down to your car and make it out of the parking lot) assuming you only had 2-3 over the course of the whole game. If you'd been dropping a beer per inning, probably less so.
