Why are beer and sports closely linked and related???


Nearly everyone drinks beer while watching sports. It is avaliable at pretty much all sporting events and everywhere you look people are drinking it. It is hard to imagine going to a game where beer is not everywhere. Furthermore when people are not watching games at the venue or at home they are watching them at beer filled sports bars. Also most beer ads relate to sports and are clearly targeted at sports fans. In our culture spectator sports and beer clearly go together to the point where you cant have one without the other. Why is this? Why are beer and specator sports so closely related? Why is it that in our world wherever their is beer their is sport and vise versa? If anyone would be able to explain this it would be you the beer guzzling sports fans...

I only drink at baseball games, because you have too be drunk to find that entertaining.
Reply:that's a good question, but I have no clue. I don't drink, and never will... sports or no sports. idk what they're thinking, but it's stupid.
Reply:just like how popcorn is closely linked to movies.
Reply:Well, when I go to a restaurant or bar, I find myself watching sports that I would never imagine myself watching. I don't watch sports in the first place. I find that it's a way to just kill time and get relaxed. Most people loosen up as they drink beer, and to be able to watch bull riding or UFC is just a fun time haha.





As for actual sporting events, I'm not entirely sure why. Even the racetrack that I used to work at had a beer tent set up. And the hockey banquet being held at the place that I co-op at is having a beer tent as well. They just go hand in hand to the point that they are automatically associated with one another.





I find that you watch sports with friends, and drink beer with friends, and so why not do both at the same time?





Like I said, I don't really watch any sports, yet I was right into UFC tonight at Crabby Joe's. It's the atmosphere too, with the whole bar cheering and whatnot.





It's just a good time, people loosen up.
