Is this Kid drinking beer at Wrigley Field?
Posted by: Richie Rich in Beer, Cubs, Drunken Fans, Giants
So this afternoon, it was a hot one at Wrigley Field as the Cubs beat the Giants 3-1.
Temperature was in the mid-eighties, humidity in the 50-60% range - it probably felt closer to 90 degrees. It’s enough to make a kid sitting in the front row at Wrigley really dehydrated.
Better drink something kid …
… wait a minute … is that a beer?
That’s not Water or Pepsi or Mountain Dew.
That looks like a beer cup to me. And that looks like beer in that beer cup. That kid’s in the wrong section … the bleachers are in the outfield, dude.
What do you think?
Loading …If it’s not beer - what is it?
Is it a big deal if he is?
Update: Posted better video

Who cares? Baseball, no school and the Cubbies. Doing good now, but he obviously learned from his Dad “that they’ll crumble, which is why I drink mass quantities. Learn early son. You know when I was your age these babies were only a quarter. If you tell your mother…”
Give the kid a break. Doesn’t look like he was a novice.

Who cares. Dad gave his kid a sip of beer at the ball game. People need to lighten up.

This is not a knock on your writing, because it’s better than mine, by far, but also, just so you know, when you wrote ” … that looks like beer in that beer cup,” you’re making a claim that the kid is doing something illegal, and if he’s not, the “Who cares?” can turn into liable real fast. I know it’s the internet, and tons of this stuff slips by, but from the looks of your site, you’ve put a lot of work into it. So what I’m saying is, if you make a big deal about something that to most people is no big deal, you just might end up with a bigger deal than you’ll want. I’m probably way too paranoid, but in writing (and other pursuits), I’ve learned that even lawsuits you win cost money to defend. Or, just leave the story as it is. Who cares?

Maybe that’s the kid bad uncle?

People do not care about anything, besides even if he had a sip of beer It will not kill him GET A LIFE.

I think Chet’s been drinking.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal if they were sitting in the nosebleeds, but they were in TV seats and he should’ve known better.

If I were a fan of that team, sitting in that cesspool of a stadium, I’d be drinking too

Maybe it’s urine?

The Canadian
That team has the best record in baseball, in the greatest ballpark, in the greatest city on Earth.
You know not what you speak of.
But that dude couldn’t have been in worse seats to do that. Isn’t that kind of activity usually taboo (illegal)???

I don’t think he’s a kid at all — looks to be like he has “reverse Jack disease.”

Excuse me, then I thought it was Wrigley in Chicago.
Been there a few times, sure women are nice, sunshine and all, but usually the team is awfull and the stadium itself is Third World.

I went to see that Canadian team in Montreal last week……..hardly any fans there. The team in Toronto…..last place. I think the drinking age is lower there though.

Who gives a fuck. The kids dad let him have a sip of beer. Im certainly not outraged by this.

Great, something else to get the neo-Prohibitionists into a hissy fit…

this is how people from chicago do it. Only way to roll.

I was at that game on Friday and the beer guy wouldn’t serve us Canadians that did not posess a passport (even though I am clearly over 21 and had three pieces of Canadian photo ID).
Too funny that a 7 year old was drinking and I had to get other people to buy my beer for me.

Is that same kid that was plunked by the foul ball?

So? And what if it was a beer he was taking a swig of? We all know nothing adds to the pleasures of a fine Cuban than a nice cold one…Lighten up sticks in the mud.

ITS ALL PART OF ENJOYING THE GAME. HE APPEARS TO BE HANDLING HIS DRINKING BETTER THAN MOST SOX FANS!

As a professional beer drinker at Wrigley, THAT is a beer cup.
To Chet: Lay off Richie Rich. His writing is funny as hell. He’s just asking the questions, not passing judgements. Have a beer!

I think that’s actually a kindly priest breaking in a new altar boy.

Flubs Fan: Ohh dude, the Cubs fan are the classiest fan base ever bro… Left Field Sucks!
What a bunch of crap… this video helps prove it.
Keep rationalizing Cubs nation, god knows you guys have had alot of practice.
