Tennessee Titans fans consume the most alcohol out of all NFL fans, a new study says

A recent study from breathalyzer manufacturer, BACtrack, has revealed which NFL fanbase consumed the most alcohol during the 2023-2024 NFL season.

Coming in at number one? Tennessee Titans fans.

"This year's top-drinking fans? The Tennessee Titans w/ an average gameday BAC of .093%," said BACtrack in a post to X.

Right behind Titans fans were fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.

The study found that fans of the most successful teams - which include the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions, and the Baltimore Ravens - had lower average blood alcohol content (BAC) levels than the rest of the league.

Methodology

The data used in the study was obtained from over 28,000 BAC tests. The data was collected anonymously from users of the BACtrack app, which syncs with smartphone compatible BACtrack breathalyzers.

The data was collected from U.S. users who consented into sharing their data by activating the BACtrack App data storage, having location services turned on and allowing the BACtrack app to access their smartphone’s Bluetooth.

To identify where fans of each NFL team were located, a map of NFL fan allegiance using Twitter data was used in order to associate BAC results with NFL teams across the country.

Data represents positive BAC readings. Regular season game data represents unique BAC tests collected anonymously at 6 a.m. the day of game to 6 a.m. the day after the game.

Each team’s specific game schedule was used for their respective fans’ data. Regular season 2023-24 NFL games ran from September 2023 to January 2024. Data does not represent data from all users.
