It doesn’t seem to matter how the games go, Buffalo Bills fans roar – or groan – with gulps of beer.The website VinePair ranked Buffalo Bills fans as the most intoxicated in the National Football League, based on an analysis of smartphone-linked Breathalyzers.

The Bills scored a 0.076 percent BAC, just under the legal threshold of 0.08 percent for drunken driving.

Fans of the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles weighed in with 0.069. Trailing were fans of the Cleveland Browns, 0.064; Arizona Cardinals 0.062; and San Diego Chargers, 0.0618.

Data for the BACtrack Consumption Report was collected anonymously from users of the BACtrack app, which syncs with BACtrack Mobile and BACtrack Vio smartphone Breathalyzers.

BAC results were collected from 6 a.m. Sundays to 5:59 a.m. Mondays from Sept. 13 through Oct. 25.

The website reports that NFL fans’ average BAC levels do not correlate with a team’s record of wins and losses. Fans of the Tennessee Titans, a team with one win and six losses, would seem to have reason to drink excessively. Their BAC was 0.021 percent.

Fans of the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals recorded a 0.015 percent BAC, earning the distinction as the most sober of all football zealots. So they’re sober enough to enjoy the team’s victory formation during the last plays of the game.

.076 is 2 beers. I think the study needs more work. Are we the drunkest or are we the fans who all have a couple. Obviously SOME don't drink at all and SOME are drunks but if we're the team that needs a couple pops to sit through our 16 trips to the dentist who can blame us?

I'd like to see the full stats. my thesis is we have a much higher percentage of fans that drink some. Maybe we have a higher percentage of drunks too but showing an average doesn't tell you that for sure.

Hey, just blame us Canadian fans.

We apologize and in the future we will just purchase game tickets and not attend. It is the polite thing to do.

From personal experience, I can agree with this.

No. It's not. Depending on weight and height it could be at minimum 3.75 beers and at most 8 beers.

I'm sure any northern football city could claim this title. I believe it, though. Every time I go to a game, I'm appalled by all the litter and trash in the official parking lots. Usually the chartered buses and limos are caked in beer cans, food containers, etc. It's downright embarrassing.

I'm one of them. I've gone to 260 NFL games & had 1 drink in the parking lot on a day I didn't drive and that was only to sample someone's homemade wine. Now some of that had to do with the fact that my typical gameday included a 290-300 mile drive home after the game, but I've never been much of a drinker & I don't mix sports & drinking either at home, at a sports bar, or at the stadium.

4 consecutive Super Bowl losses will do this to a fanbase. LOL

BTW, the drunks were there in the '60s and '70's as well.
