What's yall's take on it? For me the two have always gone hand in hand (no pun intended). To me it has always been part of the experience. It was always drink as much as I wanted. As I have gotten older, I am more "responsible" and do not drink as much. Now I have to drive a family home and am usually driving and don't want to hear the wife complaining.
Anyways, what's yall's take?
Drink or not?

I watch from the house, so before, during, and after.
99.9% of the time, me too!
I always fill up the tank before a long drive.
I'm a boring teetotaler.
"Alcohol before/after games". I vote yes!!! (but not if I'm driving)
Drinking before, during and after if I have a driver
I only go two ways:
Either way, it's hard to beat a UGA game and Athens in the Fall.
I’m with Biff..... but since I matriculated in 4 years of semi sobriety.....and many years after of tailgating and consuming much beverage ......at this point a sober Sat in Athens is a good thing ....you see new things sober .....try it sometime
But as a student up through my 30’s I would have been for stadium sales ...now not .... people are drunk enough as it is ..... and if you must have a bump to enjoy the game ..... sneaking it in is half the fun
Haven't had a drink on game day in Athens since 2001. After hitting a ga tech fan in the bathroom in 2000, my wife figured it was time I quit.
I'm sure he deserved it.
Shame on you. That's bullying.
I dont drink anything before The game, but enjoy hitting downtown afterwards, and downing a few beers. Especially when we win.
On game day I start a slow Bloody Mary IV drip at 7:30am that usually finishes by Noon. The Mrs. changes the solution to **** 47 and Tonic, which lasts until 5pm. At 5:05pm the bag is changed again this time with Manhattan's. At 9:09pm the bag is changed again with a high quality California Cab.
When we'd go to Athens for a tailgate, the "before" was usually, well more. The after depended on a few factors. 1) Did we win 2) Do I have to drive 3) How much did I drink before the game.
Now when I was at school in Athens we started drinking the night before, woke-up, headed out to where we were tailgating, drank until right before kickoff, baked in the student section through the game. Headed back to Rivermill. Drank more. If we won, we drank a lot more, no matter what we always made plans for going out and meeting up with friends that night to continue the party, right after a short nap. (famous last words)
...if we woke-up, order Dominos drank whatever beer we had around, while watching whatever game was on TV, then went to bed. On Sunday we were often promising God never to drink that much again.
PS Does anyone remember that cheap beer you could by in the bottle, that paid a deposit?
Years pass. People get older. We're getting older too.
Ah. An OT and a DV for this. Means at least 2 people here don't understand sarcasm without it being pointed out to them or they're bugs. 🙄
I was all SEC 1st team drinking team from 06 to 08. Now I'm the one who goes downtown on gamedays just to get nostalgic. My how life changes
