Beer question?

[pirate4state]

:D With all these extra inning games the past few days, when do you think concessions stopped selling beer??? :thinking:

[Vrabird]

Most of the time the stadiums will cut the beer off around the 8th inning. Don't know about the playoffs. Never been lucky enough to see a playoff game. Maybe this year with the Astros still in it.

hm.....never thought of it...

if they dont stop it like regular season then its possible they dont stop till its time for bars to stop serving. I know bars here cant sell after 2 on friday and saturday and i think 1 every other day

[slpybear the bullfan]

It usually is the 8th inning. That is not tied to local times... but rather to the time it takes to "Safely Sober Up" and then drive home... (sounds like it ought to be the 5th inning!)

[CHS_CG]

or not serve at all.

[DawgFan91]

They stop it at the same time regardless. They don't know if a game is going extra innings until it does.

[Roll'em up]

It is protocal for all MLB games that they stop serving alcohol at the end of the seventh inning. If the game goes extra innings it doesn't matter. As already stated, this is in place to help decrease drunk driving and etc...Although 2 innings which probably averages 20-30 minutes probably doesn't help much. I guess if something was to happen MLB can say they make an effort.
