Getting as drunk and fat as you can has been a long standing tradition in America. I myself, have participated in this patriotic past-time ever since High School, and that's the best part. Tailgating has no age limitations. (of course if you're under 21 you can't drink legally, and if you're under 18, get the hell out of here until you're hot AND legal) If you're 18 or 80, we as a Americans have deemed it appropriate to "camp" outside of large organized events and swallow as much red meat, beer, and pride as we can. However, we are a intelligent pack of slobs.
