How much beer do you buy at Orioles games? (Poll is anonymous)

[Rick_Schu]

The more Bohs I put away, the better the O's play.

Vodka water bottles, friends, vodka water bottles.

$7 Bud Light--or whatever they put in there--is insulting, wouldn't pay that just on principle. After the game I'll go and spend that on a good beer at a bar.

I think if I drank 1,400 calories in one night I'd blow up like a balloon.

Pretty much on the money. It's total price gouging to charge $7-8 for bud light or miller lite when you can get a six pack for less. I get raising the prices at events but that's just comical. It would be one thing if it was a good craft beer but that's basically water. Just drink a handful before coming inside...pretty much ever bar has a 2 for 1 type of deal...so you're getting two beers for like half the price of one in the park.

I mean I might do it one day just to say I've had a beer at a game but its just so much...haha.

If you do it right by pregaming at Pickles or in federal hill, there's no need to buy more than three.

Living in KC, I don't get back to OPACY as much as I'd like. Does Clancy still sell beer? I always tried to make a point to buy at least one Bud from him at every game I went to.

Of course Clancy still works there! He's an Oriole legend. He works the sections directly behind the Oriole's dugout. I miss the dude from the early 90's who invented the contraption that removed the entire top of two beer cans at the same time and them just dumped them into a cup.

All work and no beer make McNulty something something.

Also, these pretzels are making me thirsty.

Best pre-game value/venue by far is Cross St. You can get a liter of beer for $5. Food options aplenty. Best beer selection and 'gourmet' style food is Alewife on Eutaw. Alewife is my personal favorite because it's 3 blocks from the 8$ Penn St. Garage. Easy in/Easy out. Never really understood the pickles thing.

Good call. Heading out for a beer run.

Walmart has more riding carts then shopping carts in NY.

My son and his friends called him "robo vendor" never forget him.

Is that the Valencia badge in your profile pic?

The price is the control mechanism.

If what he says is true then he ran up a tab of over $50 on SEVEN beers. Most people would not/ can not do that.

Also you can only carry two at a time.

It's a shame that people can't be their own control procedure. If you know you are an ass when you get drunk, don't get drunk in public. I had a friend who got drunk and would fight all time, and he would blame it on everyone else. In the infamous words of Raylon Givens -You run into an ass---- in the morning: you ran into an ass----. You run into ass----- all day: you?re the ass----.?

I probably only buy two or three beers during the game, but I buy like 4 before the game at Pickles and the rest of the strip.
