If they send their kids to college, they come here to drink. I've been quite a drunk at times of my life, but it barely holds a candle to what these kids do. My hat's off to 'em, the obnoxious bastards.
That seems to be the general rule of thumb in Wisconsin -- sloppy drunks.
I've attended football games at a fair amount of stadiums around the country and have always liked to observe the drinking habits of the locals at the stadium. Chicago, Philly, Oakland, and New York have some fairly violent drunks, always ready to start a fight at the drop of a hat.
Kansas City fans, while drunk on their collective asses, remained fairly polite and sociable.
But the fans at Lambeau are like nothing I have ever seen. They get drunk and just sit there with blank looks in their eyes and drool running out of the corners of their mouths. The beer automatically goes to their mouth even after they are legally dead. If is like some sort of reflexive action that defies science.
It ain't pretty the way Wisconsin folk drink. Frankly, it scares me a little and I do my best to stay out of that state. I would be willing to take a five hundred mile detour to accomplish just that.
