BACtrack Consumption Report: Super Bowl 50

For the sixth time, BACtrack shares consumer Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) data for review and analysis, exploring the average BAC levels from around the country during Super Bowl 50.

Super Bowl 50 was hosted in BACtrack's hometown of San Francisco, CA. We wanted to be part of the action, so we not only collected 1000's of anonymous BAC data points from around the country, but we also sent our BACtrack Referees to various Super Bowl events and parties around town to test the fans.

Check out all the photos, an awesome video and the results from the Consumption Report!

Average BAC Peaked in the Fourth Quarter

As expected, we saw a large spike in average BAC from a few hours prior to kick-off up until the start of the game. From there, things stayed fairly flat, peaking in the fourth quarter at 0.084%, before dropping back down to 0.075% around 9pm.
