As Adviser for alcohol awareness classes I am generally very familiar with the image of alcohol plays in football and the Super Bowl specifically. Fast, when you think about the Super Bowl of what pop in your mind? For some, especially those who live in Pittsburgh or the State of Wisconsin,-all, this means the battle for the Championship of National League Football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers.
For the most part, the game of football is at the top of the list. Even less enthusiastic sports fans know that it is the Championship of the sport called football.
Dear drink
The second most popular image of the Super Bowl is advertising. The Super Bowl has become renowned for having the best ads and the more expensive. How much cost to advertise during the Super Bowl? A. 1 million $ per minute, b. 2 million $ per minute, v. $3 million per minute, d. A $5 million more to the per minute. Answer - D - more than 5 million $ per minute.
In fact, each commercial 30 seconds cost between 2.5 million $. How many cases of Budweiser Anheuser-Busch will a sell to retrieve a 30-second commercial? $20 Cases, he will need to sell 125,000 cases or 3 000 000 bottles of beer - and this is retail. If you that they work with a 50% profit margin, they sell twice more-6 000 000 bottles of beer to pay for a 30-second commercial.
Is certainly a lot of profit in alcohol.
The Super Bowl is not an Excuse to Get Drunk
Yes, the Super Bowl is a lot of fun. When I was still drinking, it was one of my favorite times to have a beer or 10. Many of those I attended parts of Super Bowl with had the same position of thought in the party, "we will get hammered." For many, it is an excuse to drink. The key is to drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
My first year of sobriety, that I went to the Super Bowl Sunday cinema. If you have never been, let me say that you will see that anything rated below "R". The theatre was full of noisy children. The following year, I watched the game by myself.
A full-Lake of beer
How much beer is consumed during the Super Bowl? The latest estimates indicate that on Sunday, February 6, 2011, more than 325 million litres of beer will be consumed. It is enough to fill nearly 500-Olympic swimming pools.
Numbers can be misleading in this part of the game will be about 150 million people watching. There is no way that each one consumed 2 litres of beer, on 21 beers. There are therefore many alcohol made with or without the Super Bowl. If you think that there are many beer what this alcohol, there will be approximately 1 billion chicken wings consumed this day here!
A simple way to avoid a DUI - plan ahead
The key to success avoiding a DUI is simple: do not drink and drive. It is simple in theory and in practice. Start planning your transportation now. If you drink, have a designated driver. Perhaps call the taxi service and know how much the taxi fare will be.
If you stay home, make sure you have enough supplies so that you do not have to drive after drinking.
"Super Bowl" Sunday ranks just behind the new year's Eve and the fourth of July for number of DUI arrests. Future planning will help you avoid becoming a statistic DUI. A final word on planning before if you are considering attending a Super Bowl party - TAXI!
Despite its legal status, it is important to understand that alcohol is a drug and its use must be managed. If you or someone you know may suffer from alcohol dependence, please have their call for help immediately. There are options online courses of voluntary and involuntary on the rehabilitation of alcohol.
