When I went to the Kentucky Derby, I was surprised by how few people were drinking Mint Juleps and how many were drinking cases of Bud Light. It was a particularly hot year, so not sure if this is normal, but I saw at least a dozen people carted off by the EMS golf carts hours before the Kentucky Derby was run.
I've been to a bunch of events, including the Indy 500, Times Square for NYE, and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and by far people were more sloppy drunk at the Kentucky Derby.
- ascagnel_ 3y agoTimes Square has banned alcohol on NYE for at least the last decade, and the state of Indiana blocks all Sunday alcohol sales, so I expect those two events to be a little more toned down.
- jihadjihad 3y agoYou can buy alcohol on Sunday in Indiana as long as it's 12pm or later [0]. And you can bring your own alcohol to the Indy 500 as long as it's not in glass [1]. 0: https://www.thehayeslawoffice.com/blog/2020/02/indianas-sunday-alcohol-law/ https://www.thehayeslawoffice.com/blog/2020/02/indianas-sund... 1: https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/plan-ahead/gate-regulations https://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/events/indy500/pla...
