As we get prepare for the third and final session of unlimited beer sampling at Binghamton On Tap, Friday February 20th in Downtown Binghamton, there was a whole lot of beer flying out of Southern Tier grocery stores and beer specialty shops.  Sam The Beer Man in Binghamton reports stronger than usual sales this weekend.

Wine may have taken over popularity as America's most popular alcoholic beverage but It's that is considered the unofficial drink of the big game this Sunday.  According to SaveOnBrew.com, over 50 million cases of it will be consumed on February 1st alone.  That's a lot of beer, but most of it will be average beer such as Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors Light, Miller Light or Natural Light.

We remind you to party responsibly and if you even question you've had too much, please call a friend or a cab.  Police enforcement on Southern Tier roadways is always amp-ted up on holidays, including February 1st.  It's not worth the risk.
