Company conducts study to find the drunkest NFL fanbases

It's common knowledge that Sunday football and a cold beer go hand-in-hand. But does the success of the home team affect how many beers get guzzled?

According to a new study, drowning one's sorrows after tough losses contributes to the drunkest fanbases in the country.

BACtrack, a Breathalyzer company, reportedly took random samples across a six-week span to see which NFL fanbases are consuming the most booze on game day.

The biggest drunkards of the bunch? Buffalo Bills' faithful far and away out-drank other fanbases, Lions and Eagles took 2nd and 3rd top honors, with Browns, Cardinals and Chargers fans coming in close behind.

CBS Sports broke down how BAC collected for its study:

"The company used anonymous samples sent in by fans who were using the BACtrack app on their phone, an app that works as a Breathalyzer.
The company then collected data on Sundays between Sept. 13 and Oct. 25 to try and accurately gauge how much fans were drinking. Only samples sent in between 6 a.m. on Sunday and 5:59 a.m. on Monday counted toward the study.
The data was only collected from geographic locations that were hosting NFL games during the first seven weeks of the season."

Now there are clearly some holes in the study. (For starters, the Raiders' and Jets' fanbases aren't represented because the study is "geo-targeted.) But it would be interesting if BACtrack continued the study and revealed all of their findings right before the Super Bowl.
