Unlabelled:
High-risk drinking on game day represents a unique public health challenge.
Objective:
The authors examined the drinking behavior of college football fans and assessed the support for related interventions.
Participants:
The authors randomly selected 762 football fans, including college students, alumni, and other college football fans, to complete an anonymous online game-day survey.
Methods:
The authors collected data on participants' drinking behaviors and support for specific game-day interventions.
Results:
Analysis revealed that, overall, fans drank significantly more on game day than they did the last time they partied or socialized. Nondrinkers were the most supportive of game-day interventions, followed by moderate drinkers, whereas heavy drinkers offered the least support.
Conclusions:
With the exception of limiting tailgating hours on game day, fans support game-day interventions, including alcohol-free alternatives, designating tailgating areas where open containers are permitted, and increasing law enforcement efforts.
