究人员测定了橄榄球和棒球迷在退场时体内的酒精含量。结果发现，
8%愿意接受酒精测试的观众驾车酒精超标。这项研究发表在《酒精中
毒：临床与实验研究》杂志上。
在13场不同的棒球比赛和3场橄榄球比赛后，调查者设法采集了362名
离场球迷的呼吸样本。40%的测试中酒精计量表有不同程度的反应。而
35岁以下的球迷体内酒精含量超标的可能性是年长球迷的9倍，而和其
他粉丝比起来，跟车族迷酒精超标的几率要高14倍。
来自明尼苏达大学的研究带头人达林·埃里克森指出，如果发现的这百分之八的醉酒者能代表所有球迷，那么一场NFL比赛就会有5000名球迷体内酒精含量超标，这些人涌到大街上，还很可能会开车。要记住，这只是调查了那些愿意参加测试的球迷的结果，因此，算上那些不积极配合的酗酒者之后，真实比例还会更高。
