Some More Sports Talk

As a rule, drinking at a sporting event is completely acceptable and, let's face it, pretty much expected. That means that regardless of what time the game comes on it is socially acceptable to drink at it. Further, this extends to any pre-game activities done in preparation for the game. Hence, Kegs and Eggs and other time honored traditions.

So even though the U.S. is a bit slow in realizing how great soccer is, it was perfectly acceptable to walk into a bar at 9:55 am to drink beer and watch the game. Of course, the loss was disappointing. But it was the perfect excuse to crack open a beer before the time that I would normally wake up when I don't have class.
