VIDEO: Drunk passed out cold at Phillies game

Recently, a University of Minnesota study about drinking at sporting events concluded the following:
– Alcohol laws and guidelines at stadiums are poorly enforced: Researchers said 74 percent of people pretending to be drunk were served and they were three times more likely to buy it from a vendor working the stands than a concession booth.
– Thousands of fans leaving games and getting into their cars are drunk: Researchers took breathalyzer tests of 362 fans at 13 baseball and three NFL games and found 8 percent of them – 1 in 12 – were legally drunk, while 40 percent of them had at least something to drink. That 8 percent, when multiplied by the thosands of people attending games nationwide, leads to a staggering number.
What does all that mean? Well, for starters, I’m pretty sure this guy at the Phillies game last night became the poster boy for the study.
You really have to hand it to this kid. It’s not everyday that someone has to check your pulse because you’ve publicly drank yourself into a vegetative state.
And on a side note, to the friendly, old lady who seems concerned for his well-being—a bit of medical advice. Just because one “has a pulse” doesn’t necessarily mean “they’re breathing”. Thanks Mr. Cosby!
