Methodology
The data used in the study was obtained from over 28,000 BAC tests. The data was collected anonymously from users of the BACtrack app, which syncs withsmartphone compatible BACtrack breathalyzers.
The data was collected from U.S. users who consented into sharing their data by activating the BACtrack App data storage, having location services turned on and allowing the BACtrack app to access their smartphone’s Bluetooth.
To identify where fans of each NFL team were located, amap of NFL fan allegiance using Twitter data was used in order to associate BAC results with NFL teams across the country.
Data represents positive BAC readings. Regular season game data represents unique BAC tests collected anonymously at 6 a.m. the day of game to 6 a.m. the day after the game.
Each team’s specific game schedule was used for their respective fans’ data. Regular season 2023-24 NFL games ran from September 2023 to January 2024. Data does not represent data from all users.
