Partying too hard! Sometimes I do not think that people think things all the way through. Actually I know that they do think about their actions all the time. I was just listening to a story the other day about a group of friends that started tailgating at 8 am for a game that did not start until 8 pm. Over a twelve hour day one individual can slam a lot of beers. If you roughly 3 beers every hour (if you can keep that consistent pace) that calculates to at least 36 alcoholic beverages. That is not included random shots that you might drink or other mixed drinks. Now this could be greatly over exaggerated, but just give some perspective of how much you could possible drink in one day. You might be dead at this point though.
More realistically even if someone did consume around 20 alcoholic beverages that is still a large number of drinks. Not everyone has the ability to drink that much and still function as a human being especially when you are in public. Not as bad when you are at your apartment, but public drunkenness is not the most attractive thing. This could become a real problem if you are just completely out of control…basically at the blackout stage where you have no control over where you are at or what you are doing.
If you are planning a day of tailgating and it is your first time…I do not recommend drinking as much as can or as fast as you can. This will only diminish the amount of fun you had because more than likely you are not going to remember any of it. Who wants to waste an entire day in complete drunkenness? Do not get me wrong either, I love having my share of drinks and I am not saying to not drink at all. Just learn your limits and how to control your excessive drinking, or you might end up like these Texas Tailgaters (picture on the second page of entries).
Be smart…take it light (beer)! You do not want to forget your first experience tailgating. That would be just a shame.
