For a long time, you haven't been able to buy beer at Georgia games. Will that be changing soon? It certainly looks like it. From what we're hearing, you won't have to do all of your drinking at the pre game tailgate. However, there will be some rules, just like with every other sporting event. Here's what we know so far.

Enjoy A Beer At the Georgia Games

According to an article on SI.com, starting with the 2024 season, you will be able to enjoy a beer at Georgia home games. Reports started coming out yesterday that alcoholic beverages such as beer and seltzers will be available at home games starting later this year. Believe it or not, Georgia was actually one of the last schools in the SEC to not allow beers sales in their football stadium.

Here's the weird thing though, you've been able to buy beer at Georgia basketball games for years now. But why not football? That's a question Dawg fans have been asking. And apparently we've been asking loud enough and long enough that we have an answer, and the answer is yes. Ultimately, they had to think about how much extra money they could be making right?

Think about this, Georgia has sold out every home game since 2021. Thats a lot of people who would love to enjoy a cold beer. And odds are those beers are going to be at least $10 or so. You do the math on that one. However, like anything there will be some rules. From what I've read you will only be able to buy two beers per person, and they will do last call sometime in the third quarter.

I think that is a smart move. Of course, I'm sure there will be people that disagree. But you can't hold out forever, and I think it's time we join the rest of the SEC on this one.
