The Red Sox have reached an agreement with Mayor Thomas M. Menino and other interest groups to begin selling mixed drinks to fans at Fenway Park, based on testimony before the Boston Licensing Commission this morning. The mayor, police, and community groups expressed support for the Sox plan to begin selling mixed drinks at five locations in the ballpark -- after the Red Sox agreed to relocate one stand further away from the bleacher section. The Red Sox initially drew concern from Menino and Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis when they asked the licensing commission for permission to sell mixed drinks throughout the ballpark, instead of only beer. But the Red Sox agreed to a number of limits on the liquor sales, including a promise to stop selling mixed drinks two hours after the game begins. Currently, beer sales are allowed until the end of the 7th inning or 2 1/2 hours after the game starts. The Boston Licensing Commission is expected to vote on the Fenway proposal on Thursday, but Sox attorney Dennis Quilty said it could still be another month before mixed drinks are available at Fenway outside of the luxury seating where they're already sold. He said the Sox still need permission form the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission for the mixed drink plan.
Blah, blah, blah... All this pissing and moaning about mixed drinks at Fenway is pointless. You really think you are going to be able to get shitfaced off these things anyway? They are going to be the most watered down drinks in the history of Boston. This is a nightmare for dudes that bring their girlfriends or wifes to games. "Oh babe, can you get me a margarita on your (20 min) trip to the bathroom?" Boy friends all around Bean town are fucked. Now you have to buy your pink hat friend a $13 watered down margarita. But if she is like 99 percent similar to most chicks she will act like she is beep faced off of 2. Still, these mixed drinks at Fenway are going to rape your wallet. The Sox have the most expensive average tickets in the League and now they have the most expensive accessories to make your pink hat friend content.
Fuckin Red Sox. Chicks all over Boston are in Heaven right now. I can see them now, sitting 2 rows back down the first base line in their Jacoby Ellsbury Jerseys double fisting $13 dollar margaritas they didn't pay for while singing Sweet Caroline. Ahhh to be a pink hat.
