Ohio State will sell beer throughout the Horseshoe in 2016, another step in the holy matrimony of alcohol and college football. It's a union so blissful you wouldn't be foolish to think it is as old as the sport itself.
But that is not the case.
While it's likely some fans showed up to Ohio Stadium drunk throughout Prohibition, alcohol wasn't instantly embedded into the culture when the federal government lifted its ban in 1933.
In 1935, fans thought to be inebriated were publicly shamed and asked to perform a primitive sobriety test of wiggling their thumbs.
From the official voice of the Ohio State students, The Lantern:
To be fair, there's no way a drunk person could have kept up with the high-flying action found in Ohio State's contest against Drake, a game in which the Buckeyes trounced the Bulldogs, 85-7.
Time and change, however. Time and change.
