Here in Canada, 3.2 per cent beer is considered de-alcoholized.

I brew my own beer and Wednesday I'm cooking up a pale ale that should clock in at just under 6% alcohol by volume. It's my own recipe so maybe I'll name it "Here's To You, Padres Fan Pale Ale".

/or maybe "Dick Joke Pale Ale"

I've always suspected the beer at stadiums is really non alcoholic and the vendors are getting a good laugh over the idiots that spend a week's salary on too much of it then act belligerent.

this is one of many reasons I do my boozing in the parking lot before the game.

In Oklahoma, the beer, by law, has a lower alcohol content. As if you needed another reason not to go to Oklahoma.

That's why you smuggle in a flask of Jack and buy an xtra large Coke. Anyone who buys beer at the stadium deserves to get fleeced.

Here in CO they only sell 3.2 beer in grocery stores. Which is why there's liquor stores on every street corner...

Hey great, it's more people who don't understand the whole 3.2% beer thing.

I'm tired of explaining it to people, but just know that it's not a big deal. Google "cereal malt beverages" and "alcohol by weight" to learn more.

@Katni: I was along the first base side at field level. That was the first time I've ever had that problem, but it was also the first time I sat anywhere but in that "dugout club" box behind home plate.

@Avian Bone Syndrome: I've had the same problem. Then again, I tend to buy the cheap seats directly in front of the playground, so that I am then able to afford a few more rounds of said weak-ass beer.

I'm just impressed that they sell water with 3.2% alcohol.

@Dr. Spaceman: No kidding, family friendly. I had some usher come up to me at Petco the other day because I said "fuck" and there were children around. I wasn't drunk, didn't yell it, and the nearest child was two rows away.

They should start serving Steele Reserve. What consumer advocate wouldn't be pleased with that.

I've always been of the opinion that every ballpark should serve their thirsty fans 40's of King Cobra; only for the first seven innings, of course.

Actually, MGD or High Life clocks in at 4.7% alcohol, making this act by the Padres even more egregious.

Did someone approach the investigative reporter and say, "You know, I'm just having a really hard time getting shit faced at the stadium...but I have no problem getting fall down drunk any other day. Why is that?"
