That came up in LearnedLeague at one point. It’s candles, isn’t it?
Yes
$300 for water?!?!
46 comments and nobody’s suggested that’s how many Miller Lights you need to get a buzz?
Miller lite is 12 fl oz, 4.2% ABV. A baseball game is typically 2.5 hours long. Assuming a 200 lbs man, and using the calculator.net BAC calculator, drinking 3-5 beers over the course of the game will leave him in the “buzz” range between 0.02% and 0.06% BAC at the end of the game.
Consuming 23 beers over the course of the game will result in a 0.38% BAC, which calculator.net helpfully describes with:
“Stupor, central nervous system depression, loss of understanding, lapses in and out of consciousness, low possibility of death”
In metric:
Miller lite is 0.355 liters, 4.2% ABV. A batball game is typically 9 kiloseconds long. Assuming a 90.71847 kg man, and using the calculator.net BAC calculator, drinking 0.3-0.5 decabeers over the course of the game will leave him in the “buzz” range between 0.02 metric% and 0.06 metric% BAC at the end of the game.
Your calculations are off. Most ballparks stop selling beer in the 8th inning.
Most only sell you 2 beers at a time too… or maybe that’s just a Wisconsin thing idk i haven’t been to a baseball game outside the state.
That is also true. Good point.
The calculator.net BAC calculations assume a linear reduction in BAC over time, so as long as you start drinking at the beginning of the game, and never get down to 0% before you finish drinking it works out the same under those assumptions.
Ty, I’d like for you to crunch those numbers again.
Just crunch 'em. Just crunch 'em, please.

It’s a website, there’s no such thing as…

In metric:
Whew, thank you, this was getting so confusing until that point.
Also,
“Stupor, central nervous system depression, loss of understanding, lapses in and out of consciousness, low possibility of death”
Those appear to be desirable for a significant subset of US people nowadays from what I see online.
Okay, but unless these are gourmet nachos, gourmet hot dogs, and gourmet mountain dew, this is still gouging before the Miller Lites.
I highly doubt it. It’s probably like $5 for a single 12oz can. The kind you could buy a 6 pack of for the same price.
In that same breath, $13 beers are just insane. There’s no logistical cost or reason for them being that expensive other than they have you restricted as a captive audience. It doesn’t cost them nearly that much, but you’ll pay it, because otherwise it’s nothing. And baseball without beer should just be classified as a genevia level form of torture.
I can also see some benefit to having fewer drunk people in a stadium, but I’m sure it’s mostly just profit chasing.
I was mostly just making a joke about Gourmet Mountain Dew, and that the point remains that stadium prices are insane.
Yes that’s stadium pricing. Pay $10-$15 for a hot dog that makes the Costco $1.50 hot dog look gourmet.
The Costco $1.50 hot dog is gourmet!
Or at least it was, until they stopped giving out sauerkraut and brown mustard <grumble, grumble>
But seriously though, Costco hot dogs are objectively excellent, regardless of price.
$4 for a stadium hotdog seems reasonable
The receipt says $8 per hot dog.
The baseball team by me does $5 hot dog specials on certain days. $8 ain’t atypical for ballpark dogs sadly. Also $10 for nachos is cheaper than I’ve seen. It’s why I’ll only go if I can grab $20ish dollar seats, cause after food its closer to $50 for the day per person.
Oh yeah… math is hard.
$8 sounds about what you’d pay. Captive audience and all that. But that’s definitely the gouging.
HA-HA, “he buy too many beer.”
Ok but there’s NO FUCKING WAY a $3 trash beer should be $13, and they give you those small ass Dixie Cups.
They’re overpriced to keep people from drinking more but also I agree with you.
Maybe his kids shouldn’t drink so much beer.
The only reason that anybody should ever have 23 beers at a baseball game, is if it’s .10 cent beer night.
Or they’re watching the Orioles play.
Someone needs to learn about “pre-gaming”. I’m a baller on a budget.
I mean 50+ dollars for hot dogs nachos and some sodas is still highway robbery.
What an odd thing to post on a LinkedIn profile
There’s no way it’s not a joke post/account
Try this one trick to save on your drinking bill!
spoiler
IASIP taught kids how to pregame with antifreeze (don’t do it, joke) and huffing glue. Gen X boomers who already have a house, and avocado toast lifestyle can learn finance tips too.
Four Mountain Dews is not healthy
$13 beer is why I bring my own booze to sporting events!
They could have easilly had me get 8-14 beers at $5 a piece and make money, but instead their greedy asses get $5 for a pop to be used as mixer. Bastards!
