They paid for this? Study finds Bills fans among heaviest game day drinkers in NFL

Not sure I buy into that. Guess the jumping through tables might have helped a bit to come to that conclusion. Imo I think fans of every team likely drinks about the same as any other. So yeah, meh....

 

 

 

Having been to Tennessee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh for road games, I disagree. 

 

Pardon me while I crack open another White Claw......

Lol, I've been to a few road games as well. Can honestly say all the same to me. I definitely could not notice and say, "Meh, Bills fans drink way more than any other team". 

 

Still think the jumping through tables may have swayed this so called, "study" that is not important at all lol

Well, when your franchise has played at 1:00pm 98% of their games scheduled this past decade is it really surprising? "Daytime" drinking is pretty much a given. 😆

I mean so did the Browns, Fins for a while, Raiders fans for sure with the crazies they got. Seriously don't think it's too much difference to make out of it. Fans of every team drink a lot.

 

They drink more when their team is losing or having a losing season, or having a long drought( Bills/Browns). Also fans of teams drink a lot when their team wins a lot, gets to the playoffs, and you can believe they party like it's 1999 if their team wins Super Bowl.

 

So yeah, I mean I just don't think one can definitely say for sure that all fans of one team drinks so much more than any other.

It's a survey of about 1,600 fans. That's only, like, 50 fans per team. So it's an incredibly small sample size to be splitting 32 ways.

And it's all self-reporting. Could be that Bills fans are more honest.

 

To properly study this phenomenon, one should conduct a qualitative case study using the researcher-as-participant methodology. The researcher should attend one home game per team, make detailed observations, and write a descriptive report on each.

 

I'll be submitting my grant application tomorrow. Wish me luck.

That's kinda what I figured. I didn't read the article myself because it was one of those that I didn't really want to waste time on. But yes, that's a very small amount of fans. Likely a lot of them Bills fans that want that title lol.

This is an unproven theory ... what’s next? Are you going to say the earth is round? It’s flat, easier for UFO’s to land on it.

I forgot that Sammy Watkins has confirmed that the earth is flat, how silly of me...

Wait...does this have anything to do with the fact our rally song comes straight from Animal House??

Not our fault all the other teams are lame. They need to put in the work drinking offseason like we do.

perhaps Buffalonians are more proud of our day drinking than fans of other teams. Weird, I know

I guess that means that Pats fans are the most dishonest fan base. They had the least amount of binge drinkers.

I used to be able to drink with the best of em. Drank way too much really. Lol, so much family members started to get worried and whatnot. Older I got though, especially last 3-4 years, just the smell of it makes me nauseous. Have not had a drink in little over 4 years.

 

Don't know what happened exactly to make me feel that way. May have just out grown it, or drank so much it messed something up in my stomach, I don't know. But I'm glad it happened honestly because I was a very, very heavy drinker.

 

Would drink whatever, beer, liquor, wine, cheap nasty wine/beer. Didn't matter as it was my main high light of the day.

When I was at Carolina for a road game those poor folk looked genuinely terrified by us Bills fans.  

 

Personally, I think we’re more “festive drunk” than “angry drunk”, as a whole. It’s part of who we are, for better or worse. We drink with/to anything around here. I’ve had out of town friends come in to run races and they couldn’t believe that beer trucks are a regular thing at the end. I gladly took their drink tickets, ha.
