I for one have never been drawn to a sport that did not involve drinking my favorite lager. All the softball that I played from tot on, fast pitch of course, led to my retiring to slow-pitch after college. And what does one do in the dugout of a slow-pitch game???? Sip from the 40oz Slurpee cup full of one's favorite beverage.

I also played Rugby in college (softball got boring) which is a violent excuse to drink to excess. I would imagine that the rituals surrounding Rugby are far more sophisticated in areas of the country other than Illinois (where I attended school), but the 'get naked in a bar after your first ever score and let your teammates pour beer all over you' is an interesting one at least.

Other college favorites include darts (cricket) and pool. To this day I cannot win in either unless I've downed several. Does something for the nerves I suppose.
