“…In short, although one's environs feel stabilized, complete and ever-lasting, they are more problematic than this as they are infused with the experience of outside and inside bodily functions and cartographies. Being drunk or tipsy changes our interpretation of the self, loosens our inhibitions and leads us to make unwise choices (Moore, Shepherd, Eden, & Sivarajasingam, 2007). Spaces of drinking are therefore encountered in and through embodiment (sensations), in and through practices (drinking, dancing, talking, etc.…”

In this paper I extend our understanding of the ways in which young women in rural areas produce, negotiate and experience identity through an exploration of their drinking practices. Through a close ethnography of three groups of young women in the rural south west of England this paper shows how pubs, clubs, bedrooms and other informal spaces such as 'in the park' provide arenas of performance in which identities are constructed, negotiated and reproduced. In particular this paper explores the significance given by rural young women to their discursive drinking practices and the extent to which these practices lead to inclusionary and/or exclusionary experiences. Eschewing conventional notions of the body, by recognizing the body as malleable, porous and an unfinished product, subject to socially produced alteration, this paper teases apart the different lived experiences of rural young women by arguing that much of their behaviour in pub(lic) and private space(s) can be seen in terms of acts of spectacle, compliance and challenges to disciplinary frameworks. To illustrate this point I discuss how rural young women employ various embodied strategies to move between spaces to experiment with alcohol and alternative femininities and 'do' gender, thereby contesting acceptable rural gender roles and expectations. Through shedding light on drinking practices, I reveal how this experimentation affects their sense of their body, femininity and belonging in the countryside.

“…This may be particularly problematic at schools in which the football program is highly emphasized and/or successful. Indeed, one study of rugby spectators showed that post-game alcohol consumption is associated with aggression (not celebration), but that team success may increase aggression among fans (Moore et al, 2007). Another study demonstrated that students’ self-reported alcohol consumption on football game days paralleled their self-reported alcohol consumption on holidays (Neal & Fromme, 2007).…”

Binge drinking has been tied to specific occasions, such as certain holidays and sporting events. However, previous research has relied almost exclusively upon self-reports of university students to document these associations. In order to address this limitation, the present study examined patterns of alcohol-related offenses occurring within the context of holidays and collegiate football games. Public arrest records from a university town with a successful NCAA Division I football program were examined for 30 days: 10 holidays, 10 college football “home game” days, and 10 control days. In total, 944 arrests were associated with the 30 study days. Results indicated football game days were associated with the highest number of arrests (F= 24.76, 2/27 df, p < .001). Specifically, on average there were 70.3 (SD = 35.4) arrests on each football game day, compared to 12.3 (SD = 8.8) arrests on non-game “control Saturdays,” and 11.8 (SD = 6.3) arrests on holidays. Offenses committed on game days generally occurred closer to the football stadium than crimes committed on holidays or control days (F = 165.05, 2/941 df, p < .001). Though efforts have been made to combat excessive drinking on holidays, more effort is needed to address the significant binge drinking among students and other spectators that is associated with high profile collegiate sporting events.

“…23,24 Our study results are consistent with studies that link sporting events with violence. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Football games were associated with increased homicide rates in Cali and the strength of this association was even higher when football games were played at home. Interestingly, the outcome of the game was not associated with interpersonal violence deaths in our study.…”

“…Late-night alcohol drinking and violence commonly occur after football events. 1,5,22 This could affect the incidence of homicides the day after football; these days were indicated and included in the analyses. In addition, we accounted for an overall trend during 2005 to 2008 by including two fractional polynomials, and we accounted for seasonality by including a sine-cosine pair with annual periodicity.…”

Background: Major sporting events are associated with violence, creating societal and healthcare system burdens. However, these associations have not been objectively evaluated in low-and middle-income countries, where resources for violence prevention and injury control are limited. The objective of this study was to determine whether the days of football events were associated with changes in homicide rates in Cali, Colombia.
