Lions’ fanbase is apparently the least drunk fanbase in the entire league
29 comments
Least drunk because our tolerance is so high from years of being an embarrassment of a franchise 🗣️
I don’t believe that for one second, based purely on anecdotal evidence. I do my part to drag that number up…
Now test for THC…this entire town smells like weed any time there’s a game. Detroit definitely parties
I could maybe see this happening in the last couple prior years because the team was finally good and fans possible wanted to actually watch and remember the games
But these rookie numbers are from last year…What gives? 😂
We also have the cheapest weed in the country and a preference for craft beer, which is a poor choice if the goal is to be drunk.
How does one track an BAC? It makes sense, though because alcohol prices are among the highest or THE highest in the league.
Having been to some games, and a Lions fan for 41 years….that’s actually a little alarming.
It’s because for the first time in many of our lives we actually want to remember the game on Monday
Too bad they can’t look back at the Silverdome days..
I question the accuracy of this. There’s no way the Packers aren’t in the top 5 when Wisconsin is the drunkest state.
Im blown away that the Chargers of all fan bases apparently drink the most
Now do weed
Bet we are pretty HIGH on the pot smoking fan base list though!
I wonder if it’s because there isn’t a real tailgate?
If this is still the case; I live 600 miles away and haven’t been to a Lions game since 2015.
Back in the day, I did my part to ensure we were S-tier in the intoxication category. These days it’s all edibles and THC tonics. Much easier to take things in with a little cannabis to take the edge off.
This checks out. I’ve been sober when I’ve watched every Lions game since 2018.
IM WORKING ON IT OK
FRIG OFF
It’s sobering being a lions fan for this long.
I tracked down the side for you all questioning where they get he number from
>To find out, our data scientists analyzed over 26,000 anonymized BAC test results from users of the BACtrack app, taken during the 2025-26 season. To ensure the accuracy of “game day” behavior, the team isolated unique BAC tests collected between 6 AM the day of a game to 6 AM the day after. By syncing this data with each team’s specific regular-season schedule, we were able to pinpoint the drinking habits of each respective fan base with high precision.

Data was sourced from users who opted into storage and enabled location services and Bluetooth permissions within the BACtrack app. This dataset represents a subset of total users and includes only positive, valid BAC readings.

I think their medicine as described here might be leaving out possible factors like maybe people in Michigan are using their Bluetooth enabled breathalyzers differently from others
Because, we want to remember our above .500 seasons.
Absolutely zero chance Green Bay is only #12
Im surprised the eagles arent on the top 5
This is based only on people who own a BACtrack breathalyzer, which is a very small, self-selected group who chose to use it on game days. This graphic is very misleading.
I used to work remotely with a guy from NC who was a Panthers season ticket holder. We had a morning meeting every day at 9am, and most days he was bright and chipper. Had already been up a while, got a workout in, on his second cup of coffee, curtains open and sunlight pouring into his office.
On the days following Panthers games I always feared he was on the verge of death. He’d be wearing a hoodie in a pitch black room, illuminated only by the light of his computer screen. He always looked like [the guy from the VHS tape than came with the boardgame Nightmare](https://bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/nightmare-vhs-game.jpg), and sounded like he only ate razor blades the entire day before.
It was truly something to behold.
If Green Bay isn’t #1 then this list is BS. Wisconsin is by far the drunkest state and it’s not close

Challenge accepted 😎
Scotch whiskey is key.
