Chicago White Sox fans have been found to drink the most from any fan base in Major League Baseball, a new study has shown.
According to the study, White Sox fans drink an average of 4.2 drinks per game, spend about $ 46 and place it at number one spot on the “Booziest Baseball Fans” list.
“It’s known that Chicago’s ‘South Siders’ are getting a little noisy, so it’s not surprising that the White Sox are number 1 on our list of MLB fans who drink the most,” NJ Online Gambling said.
Chicago Cubs fans were ranked 14th and reportedly drank an average of 3.4 drinks per game and spent about $ 45, just a dollar less than White Sox fans.
The White Sox were also on the list of ‘Biggest Pregamers’ in third place, just behind Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis. Louis Cardinals fans. About 67% of White Sox fans apparently drank before the game began, the study showed.
According to a similar study, 49% of White Sox fans also indicated that they “probably missed the entire game or the entire game because they drank too much” and put them back at number one spot.
According to the study by NJ Online Gambling, MLB fans were older than 21 years from across the U.S. According to the company, 58% of respondents were male and 42% female, with the average age being 36.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Tuesday that Chicago may see the return of some fans to the stands as the city prepares for the baseball season to kick off.
“Not at the moment, but I think there will be a stage this season where you see fans in the Wrigley and Guaranteed Rate field, which I still call Sox Park,” Lightfoot said.
The White Sox are expected to return home on April 8 after starting their season on the road, while the Cubs will kick off their home link at Wrigley Field on April 1.
Lightfoot’s comments come as some fans begin to return to stands in places that have long been shut down, such as Barclays Center in New York.
“What I’ve said before is that we’ve talking to both sports teams,” said Lightfoot. “I think they have very good plans in place and when we are ready, we will announce what the future holds for other potential spectators in the stands.”
Government JB Pritzker said last week that there were also ‘talks’ for Illinois.
“I do not want to pre-empt this process. I mean honestly, we rely on the epidemiologists as well as the, you know, to figure out how we can do that in practice,” Pritzker said Friday. “We are all very hopeful that the numbers – as they have done really well so far in the state of Illinois – will continue like this. But you know, Sen. [Dick] Durbin talked about the other variants that are out there. And so we just want to be careful and cautious about what we do. But definitely the discussions continue. ‘
Earlier in February, dr. Allison Arwady, the director of the Chicago Department of Public Health, said that while the city is ‘making good progress’, sports teams are probably still ‘months away’ from being able to attend matches.
The Cubs and White Sox played their 2020 seasons without fans in the stands, and the Chicago Bears did the same at Soldier Field, without fans attending any of their eight home games.
Each of the teams said they are now in contact with health officials about the situation.
