| NFL vs. MLB Just how much does a beer cost at an NFL game? Well, you can get a brew for $5.25 at a Packers home game, compared with $7 for a beer during a Falcons game at the Georgia Dome.The average cost of a 12-ounce draft beer at an NFL game is $7.13. Those attending a St. Louis Rams' home game pay the most for the beer at $9 each. No matter which New York team you root for, the Giants or the Jets, a beer will cost you $8.75. If it costs too much for you drink it up at an NFL game, you'll be happy to know beer costs less at Major League baseball games The average price of a baseball-game beer is $5.81. Loco Loko Four Loko has agreed to change its labeling and packaging to settle FTC charges of deceptive advertising. The FTC says the company falsely claimed that a 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko, at 11 or 12 percent alcohol, had the same amount of alcohol as one or two typical 12-ounce beers and a consumer could drink a whole Four Loko safely in its entirety on a single occasion. The new labels explain that a 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko that's 12 % ABV has as much alcohol as 4 regular (12 oz. 5 % ABV) beers. They company must also package the drink in resealable containers. |

Jason Brown "If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows in beer you might tell them sorrows know how to swim." Victor O'Malley "When the beer goes in, strange things come out." |
| Robert Benchley ""Drinking beer makes such fools of people, and people are such fools to begin with, that it's compounding a felony." Mark Twain “"The chief reason for drinking is the desire to behave in a certain way, and to be able to blame it on alcohol." Arny Lands "I don't think I've ever drunk beer before breakfast before. With breakfast on several occasions, but never before before." |
