Football: NFL, College & Tailgating Drink Recipe Guide

Tailgating during sporting events is almost as American as apple pie and hot dogs. Tailgate parties have become as popular if not more so than gathering at local pubs to watch the big game on TV. Some have been known to gather in the parking lot of their local watering hole to tailgate pre-game before meandering inside to watch their home team play an away game. That is either dedication to team spirit or love of the tailgate party. Whichever it is, tailgating in America has become tradition and has spread to more sporting events than just football.

Beyond tailgating is the good old fashioned way of enjoying the great American sport of football; at home in the presence of friends cheering on your team and calling the referee out for plays they called wrong. We never get our two cents in where the play calls lead, but we can call the shots where the drink recipes are concerned. That is where The Intoxicologist gives you the opportunity to decide the best drink recipe for your game of choice whether tailgating or watching the game on the big screen.
