A funny, somewhat related story.
Years ago I worked at a local bar. We decided to all go to a NE Patriots game. For you local guys, it was right around the time they transitioned from Shaefer Stadium to Sullivan Stadium. Long before the Gillette moniker.
We decided it would be best to charter a local bus service. Started out the morning at the bar with bacon, eggs, and lots of other grub and of course, for most the drinking started during breakfast. We loaded up the bus with one full cooler on board and another down below in the luggage compartment. The bus was stopped by the State Police even before we got to the stadium. Seems the tallest guy on the bus with us pissed out the window and it just so happened that the State Cop was riding along side of us on his motorcycle. He came on the bus like a Storm Trooper with a stream of piss across his chest. LOL. He was going to turn us around right then and there but decided to let us go with warnings.
The parking lot tailgating back then was totally out of control. Not a place you'd want to bring your wife or kids at all. Throughout the tailgating and game, they were dragging our party members off for drunk and disorderly one by one. By the end of the game, they escorted the rest of us back to the bus. While milling around, all hell broke loose and a big brawl broke out between our busload and the one next to ours. There were police everywhere cracking heads and knees (mine specifically) with their riot sticks. A helicopter landed in the parking lot with re-inforcements. They finally got everything subdued and everyone loaded onto their respective buses when they realized our bus driver was no where to be found. Turns out he was dragged away also for drunk and disorderly conduct. They had to go retrieve him from the Foxboro State Police Barracks to drive us out of there. LOL
It was quite an event and one where our designated driver didn't work out so well.
And this was all before most of the strict drunk driving laws that we have now were put into place.
