[Mick]

Not necessarily .... In the 70s/early 80s it wasn’t unusual to see small ice chests of beer and the occasional keg at Stanford football games. 

True story from 1973 or so.  My granddad brought a cooler in the game and said "Mick, hand me that 7-Up bottle will you?  No, not that one...the other one."  Geez, even when I was 10 years old I knew what THAT meant.

Just as an aside, I really loved those days.  My great granddad had a block of 25 seats, and my grandparents used to throw these legendary tailgates.  40-50 people would come by, we'd throw the football around.  Maybe 60% had Stanford degrees, the rest just liked seeing Benjamin, or Dils, or Boryla or Plunkett or whoever...
