* Beer, here

September 11, 2009

Because you can keep the souvenir cups on your bookshelf. And at some of these prices, you better.

Today’s Wall Street Journal ran this little item about the cost of beer at the ballpark as a factor of the team’s success.

I see that several of the venues mention sell 20-21 oz. cups, which is almost two standard bottles. I’d like to see how many the average suds-swilling patrons buys per game. “Drive home safe,” indeed.

The Red Sox might charge $7.25 or a 12-oz. portion, but in some way, the should be seen as doing a public service: the high price might dissuade consumers from that extra bottle.
