Drinking is all part of the viewing experience in Korea. Beer and some fried chicken makes boring baseball suddenly fun to watch :)

Few years ago in London went to League Two match, Leyton Orient vs something, it was big surprise to me that you are not allowed to have beers in stands and also smoking was not allowed anywhere in stadium territory. Comparison - in Germany everybody smokes in stands (although officially not allowed), beer is available everywhere, etc. Latvia is kinda middle ground - you can't smoke in stands, but at least beer is allowed in most of the stadiums (on some aren't, as some small clubs play in school "stadiums", and law does not allow to sell alcohol in premises of schools).

What could go wrong? I remember going to a Monday Night Jets game at the Meadowlands in the late 1980s. They were playing the Bills. The Jets were getting destroyed. The fans got out of hand. Luckily I was single back then without kids. It got a little scary. Fans set seats on fire in the upper deck and there were people urinating everywhere. I think after that game they changed the rules and stopped selling beer after halftime.
European football fans aren't known for getting crazy, right?

Depends from a country. In England, Poland, Russia, Turkey and some other countries alcohol causes problems, yes. But not so in Scandinavia and Baltics, for example.

I wasn't aware of that. I was sort of kidding, anyway. In the US what we call "soccer fans" are known to be completely crazed. It's probably unfair.
