    Home games I tend to drive or only have 2 tops, away games I love a good swill, I dread to think how much money I’ve wasted watching games through one eye but the day out with your mates is as much as the football for me.....obviously each to there own

    I find drinking before games way too expensive so instead I take heroine. Can I have free lodge and a pass to commit whatever crimes I want now please?

    Generally I don’t drink before Home games, if I do I’ll have 1 at best. Away games it depends, generally limit myself to 2/3 if it’s a Saturday, having said that I was hammered on Tuesday, and a couple of years ago when we won 4-1 at Wigan I missed both our first half goals cos I was at the toilet cos I’d had too much

    Football is as much the social aspect as it is watching some blokes prance about on a field.

    Few beers before hand.

    A few afterwards.

    Three pints before and maybe half a dozen or so after.

    Away games I will tend to drink more. Especially London trips. Probably most drunk I have ever been was Charlton away when it was a fiver.

    I still have a perfectly flat stomach and a six pack though.

    Nope, no drinking here before, during or after the match. I did have a pint at half time at Wembley against Oxford though and missed our first goal as there was no indication that the match had kicked back off. That'll teach me to have a drink!

    Jealous! If I drank that much I think I'd be so fat I'd be entitled to a disabled sticker in my car.

    Remember going to Plymouth away in FA cup.in early 90s on a minibus. Was only about 20. Got handed a can at 5am. Knocking on pub doors at 10.30am in Plymouth. Steaming hangover come kick off..Very vague memory of Gerry Gerry getting a late equaliser.

    If you go to the football to watch the match you're doing it wrong.

    Love the social aspects with lots of friends b4 an away game and have a jar or 3. Do not go to the blathered stage and don't bother at half time when a lot of young uns like to throw it abart. What's that all abart.

    I’m not much of a drinker myself so I may be missing something here but I’m not sure why anyone would want to be at the game and also be off their face? The odd couple/few I understand what with the whole social situation and that but enough so you can barely concentrate and remember what’s going on? Don’t get it.

    I don't drink any more. I'm a bit depressive and it makes me miserable as fvck.

    I had only ever been properly drunk at a game once, when we played een they coop [against] Tottingham. I spent three-quarters of the game urinating and hence missed one of the best nights ever. I promised I'd not let it happen again.

    Think there's a difference between having a good drink and being "off your face". I guess that must be the cocaine.

    There's a Russian proverb "beer without vodka is flushing money down the toilet". I wonder if there's a Colombian version which could be equated here......
