So we wanted to find out which Premier League football fans are the biggest drinkers.

Bees on Top of the EPL Table When It Comes to Drinking

Brentford is known as the Bees – but a large number of their fans clearly get a buzz from several pints when their heroes are in action. After their latest win again Southampton, Brentford supporters have had a lot of celebrating to do.

According to Statista, the average price of an EPL pint is £4.28 – though many fans will do their drinking away from the ground.

If you drink five pints on every game day over a 38-game season, you could spend about £800 on beer alone.

In contrast, Manchester United and Newcastle United have two of the soberest fanbases, along with Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United. The least likely to drink table shows the percentage of fans who don’t drink at all on game day.

With Manchester United’s latest loss against Brighton, perhaps United haven’t been in the mood to celebrate.

Millennials score most highly for game-day drinking.

Millennials – people born between 1981 – 1996 – are well ahead when it comes to serious drinking around a football match. Over a quarter of Millennials admitted to binge-drinking on game day.

Whereas the far lower proportion of Gen Z – teenagers and under 25s – indulge to a similar extent.
