Drunk People

One of my favorite things to do is be a sober person in a sea of drunks. Don't get me wrong, i love to get my party on but sometimes its just too expensive to do so (or i want to actually remember the experience!) I love the bostons sports scene. I love how intense fans get and how passionate people are about their teams. Every so often when I go to a sporting event i will have a beer or 2, but usually no more than that. I am just far too cheap to spend more than 14 bucks on freeking beer in a plastic cup. That being said, i am probably one of the only people attending who feels this way so i am often the lone sober person in my section. I actually find this enjoyable. Last night for example, we were at the Bruins play off game. It was a must win game for the bruins. Having spent about 100 bucks per ticket i really wanted to enjoy the game and remember everything that was going on. I got my Giant Souvenir soda and chicken basket (and recycled shirt!!) and sat back and enjoyed the game! Every person around us was drinking, heavily. Not just beer either, i saw daiquiris, stoli and sprites, even rum and cokes. By the 3rd period everyone was TANKED. They gave everyone in the crowd free playoff towels to wave in the air. By the end of the game the towels were being thrown on the ice and at other people, braided together to make ropes, and (my personal fav) to dance obscenely! The guy in front of us was the high five king and turned around and yelled and gave everyone highfives in every row, including behind me, all night. I enjoyed watching drunks stagger up the steep stairs with 2 full beers in their hands trying to not spill anything. The best part of my sober night was in the parking garage. first off drunk people wandering around trying to remember where they parked, PRICELESS. Drunk fans screaming 'lets go bruins' all the way from the garden to Government center is priceless. Sitting in our car the people behind us were honking their horns and cheering 'lets go traffic HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK.' My favorite drunk guy of the night came just as we were about the leave the garage. Ian had his window down and the guy came over to high five him, Ian stuck his hand out got a highfive and the guy started going nuts "WOO WOOO WOO YEA!!" he screamed while thrusting his pelvis @ my brother and mom. He was WAY too excited about that highfive!
This isn't the first time ive been the sober one, at the dropkick murphys concert i also opted to stay sober, milking my one beer all night. People stumbling up the stairs kept me entertained all night.
Coming up this summer we have 2 red sox games, one being against the yankees where fans are SUPER intense. I look forward to watching drunk asses there too.
Some times being the sober person with all the drunks is worth it. I had so much more fun people watching than i would have had being drunk. Considering all the booze that people had last night the crowd was happy and there were no fights amongst fans. It was a great night to be a Bostonian and a hockey fan!
