Everton fans consume more units of alcohol than any other group of supporters in the Premier League, according to a survey.
The study carried out by FootballTips.com was “carried out in a bid to gain further insight into the lifestyle of fans of the beautiful game”. For the purpose of the study, 2,400 UK-based adults aged 18 or over were quizzed, all of whom revealed that they followed football and supported at least one of the Premier League teams. Respondents were split evenly over all 20 teams.
Initially, all participants were asked “How many units of alcohol do you drink, on average, in a typical week?” and they were given a unit guide for reference. Researchers then found the average for each team, with the results emerging as follows:
1. Everton – 43 units (on average)
2. Crystal Palace – 40 units
3. Chelsea – 35 units
4. Tottenham – 34 units
5. Man Utd – 31 units
