If you can't go 45 mins without the need to have a drink you have a problem. Get one at half time and enjoy it then go back and watch the 2nd half. Seriously don't need to having drinking during the game in our seats
I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I would like to have a beer in my seat while watching Argyle. That doesn't mean I can't go without one - I've been watching Argyle at a legal drinking age for a couple of decades and have managed so far!
It's all about enhancing the experience, though, as well as bringing more fans in through the gates. Doctor above mentioned the cricket at Taunton; loads of people go to the T20 on a weekend purely because they can have a beer and a laugh with their mates while watching sport. Yes, some take it too far, but there are alcohol-free stands you can sit in should you prefer to stay away from the drinkers.
Sadly football has a problem with amoeba-brained morons who probably aren't that pleasant to be around when they're sober, never mind after 10 pints. Those people would ruin it for everyone else. Never mind the potential for violence and abuse, I can just imagine what would happen to all that beer should Argyle score. We've all seen the images from the last World Cup of that pub in London, and I bet not all that liquid was beer...
