Lotta Liquor

The liquor is flowing freely — but isn't free — at the Chevrolet Centre for Kelly Pavlik's middleweight title defense.

There are about 25 free-standing concession stands from one end of the arena to the other. Many of them sell hard liquor, wine and beer.

While some of the drinks are pricey, it's only a buck for a “Jello shot.”

Even stands that sell peanuts, soft drinks and cotton candy are selling alcoholic beverages.

For example, there's a stand near the main entrance to the center primarily selling Pepsi products. But right behind the concessionaire are 14 cases of Miller Lite bottles. Each case contains 24 16-ounce plastic bottles of beer.

Party on!
