Super Bowl Beer Prices Were Incredibly Expensive

People crushing beers during the 49ers/Chiefs Super Bowl had to spend a decent amount of money.

Beer being expensive is the norm at NFL stadiums and other pro sporting events, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. I can get a Miller Lite for $1 a can at the store, and you'll never see something that cheap at an NFL game.

The Super Bowl is the most important sporting event of the year. That's just a fact, and that means there's money to be made for everyone involved - including beer vendors.

Super Bowl LVIII featured expensive beer prices.

Arash Markazi shared a look at beer and other drink prices at the Super Bowl, and I'd suggest taking a seat before being absolutely shocked.

A Modelo - something found for $5 at my favorite Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C. - cost $16.99. The same applied to Bud Light and Michelob Ultra was listed at $18.99. Bud Light hasn't been popular in almost a year, and single cans were selling for nearly the price of an entire case.

You can see the full prices in the tweet below. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com how much money you would spend for a beer at the Super Bowl.

There's an old saying when it comes to concerts, clubs and sports

"You're not paying for the alcohol. You're paying for the right to drink the alcohol in that setting."

I'm not sure I've ever agreed with the thinking, but it's what applies to this situation and other events with expensive drinks.

As someone who goes to Las Vegas on a regular basis, I can promise you drinks can be wildly expensive. However, there needs to be a line drawn in the sand, right?

There is *ZERO* percent chance I'd ever shell out $16.99 for a Bud Light. With tax and tip, the bill is quickly going to exceed $20 for a single Bud Light. Does that sound like a good deal to you? It definitely doesn't to me.

Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com what you think of the prices. I love beer, but I'm also a working class man. You'll find me dead before you find me paying these prices. Something tells me a lot of OutKick readers feel the same way!
