*The Street* says [my Tigers charge more for beer than any other major league stadium](http://www.thestreet.com/story/11507257/11/10-most-expensive-beers-in-baseball.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). "*Know that $214 million contract the Tigers gave slugger Prince Fielder? Well, fans are paying for it with a $2.75 hike in the price of a small beer. Granted, that small beer's size just increased from 16 ounces to a Fielderesque 20 ounces, but that's still an increase of more than three cents an ounce. Detroit's "Halftime In America" just hit a wallet-sized speed bump between innings*."

But [the Tigers say it's not true](http://www.freep.com/article/20120426/SPORTS02/120426012/Tigers-say-report-that-Comerica-Park-has-highest-beer-prices-isn-t-accurate?odyssey=tab|mostpopular|text|FRONTPAGE&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). They say they even offer a $5.00 beer (12 ounces), which is virtually unheard of in the MLB today.

I doubt we'll ever get to the bottom of it.

Well, at least I plan on never getting to the bottom of a glass there. I decline voluntary rape.

Historical Drinking Fact

"During the War of Independence, Americans drank an estimated 6.6 gallons of absolute alcohol per year--equivalent to 5.8 shot glasses of 80-proof liquor a day--for each adult fifteen or over." Thaddeus Russell, *A Renegade History of the United States*.
