The current study assessed determinants of heavy episodic drinking among tailgaters (i.e., individuals engaging in pre-game social festivities) prior to American football games at two large universities. A total of 466 individuals at two universities completed a short interview and provided a breathalyzer sample to estimate breath alcohol content (BrAC) during the tailgating window (150 minutes prior to an… Show more

“…More specifically, students reported 46% more consequences on days that involved pregaming. This is in line with a growing literature that highlights risk that is associated with specific drinking practices (e.g., Borsari, 2004; LaBrie & Pedersen, 2008; Merlo, Ahmedani, Barondess, Bohnert, & Gold, 2011; Merrill et al, 2013; Neighbors et al, 2014; Neighbors, Spieker, Oster-Aaland, Lewis, & Bergstrom, 2005).

“…Expendedores de drogas y organizaciones criminales han logrado permear de manera efectiva estos grupos de fanáticos e inducir el consumo de drogas en menores que ingresan a las barras bravas motivados por su afición al futbol y su necesidad de construir una identidad y socializar (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Las autoridades gubernamentales y las instituciones encargadas de organizar los campeonato profesionales se han limitado a diseñar leyes que garanticen la seguridad en los escenarios deportivos (Decreto 164 de 2004, Acuerdo 390 de 2005, Acuerdo 062 de 2006 y Ley 4040 de 2007) e implementar intervenciones policiales y pedagógicas de corto plazo para reducir los actos de violencia y vandalismo en los estadios, sin entender y atender el origen de la problemática en los individuos con membresía en estos grupos.…”

“…Estudios sobre el comportamiento de los fanáticos del fútbol y otros deportes han logrado establecer una asociación entre la membresía a estos grupos y el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (3)(4)(5) . Igualmente, se ha observado que el uso de estas sustancias en los miembros de estos grupos de fanáticos tiene como función facilitar los procesos de socialización, inclusión social, cohesión, y afirmación de roles masculinos (6) , lo que eventualmente puede significar la adopción de conductas de riesgo.…”
