Researchers Attempt To Count Drunk Sports Fans

醉醺醺的體育迷，哪里逃！

It’s a now-they-know-how-many-holes-it-takes-to-fill-the-Albert-Hall situation.Because researchers have measured the actual blood alcohol level of fans leaving professional football and baseball games.And they found that eight percent of all the spectators willing to take the breathalyzer exam were over the legal limit for driving.The work appears in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.

現(xiàn)在他們可知道需要多少個(gè)小坑才能填滿阿爾伯特音樂廳了。因?yàn)檠芯咳藛T測(cè)定了橄欖球和棒球迷在退場(chǎng)時(shí)體內(nèi)的酒精含量。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，8%愿意接受酒精測(cè)試的觀眾駕車酒精超標(biāo)。這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)表在《酒精中毒：臨床與實(shí)驗(yàn)研究》雜志上。

The investigators managed to get breath samples from 362 fans exiting 13 different baseball games and three football games.Forty percent registered some level of alcohol on the meters.Fans under the age of 35 were nine times more likely to be over the limit than older fans.And tailgaters were 14 times more likely than other fans to be over the limit.

在13場(chǎng)不同的棒球比賽和3場(chǎng)橄欖球比賽后，調(diào)查者設(shè)法采集了362名離場(chǎng)球迷的呼吸樣本。40%的測(cè)試中酒精計(jì)量表有不同程度的反應(yīng)。而35歲以下的球迷體內(nèi)酒精含量超標(biāo)的可能性是年長(zhǎng)球迷的9倍，而和其他粉絲比起來，跟車族迷酒精超標(biāo)的幾率要高14倍。

Lead researcher Darin Erickson of the University of Minnesota points out that, if the 8 percent finding holds for the whole crowd, at the conclusion of an NFL game some 5,000 people over the limit could spill out into the streets and potentially behind the wheel.Remember, these results apply to those willing to be tested.So the true percentage of uncooperative inebriates may be higher.

來自明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)的研究帶頭人達(dá)林·埃里克森指出，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)的這百分之八的醉酒者能代表所有球迷，那么一場(chǎng)NFL比賽就會(huì)有5000名球迷體內(nèi)酒精含量超標(biāo)，這些人涌到大街上，還很可能會(huì)開車。要記住，這只是調(diào)查了那些愿意參加測(cè)試的球迷的結(jié)果，因此，算上那些不積極配合的酗酒者之后，真實(shí)比例還會(huì)更高。
