Beer and football

[SalfordImp]

I have noticed during the current world cup coverage that beer aka larger is shown to be drinking by spectactors.

Isn't this banned in the UK or is it special dispensation for the WC?



Only a question.

Banned in uk in stands for footy But not rugby union/ league or cricket or racing.

I think alcohol is banned at Fifa matches, but (and this could be fictious but I'm dragging this from the depths of late night tv watching in the 90's) anything less than 5% abv is not classed as alcohol in Russia

I believe you're right; might even be higher than 5% though.

Presumably given the usual sponsorship arrangements, its Budweiser.

So not beer, but the gnats have been very busy.

Am I misunderstanding but how would UK rules apply in the World Cup

Likely to be non alcoholic beer, ie less than 0.5%. Potentially higher in Russia but that’s what it was in France 2 years ago

I did read the alcohol was 0.5%. So really no point in drinking it.

 

[Impster]

Yeah it's the 0.5 stuff

aka larger

I have never imbibed "AKA Larger" before, is it better and stronger than the sugary water being served here in the stadia Russia? But, I do like a cool lager in the Russian heat.

Except if you like the taste?
