the reason that i could see for people carrying 3/4 pint carriers was probably the shocking bar and food queues !
i missed 4 races when queing,so decided to get 2 rounds in at once.
a steward told me that the top seats only had two bars, one on each straight.
so this might not of helped, as buying 1-2-3 rounds at once is just silly.mind you still does'nt make loutish behaviour ok !
if you can't handle it - don't drink it.
