On the football field, the 2-9 Buccaneers currently are as strong as a stiff drink. Especially when the drink is mixed with some of the alcohol sold at the team’s stadium.

According to WFLA, at least one customer purchased on November 9 a shot of tequila that ended up being colored water.

Aramark, the concessions vendor at Raymond James Stadium, contends that the liquid accidentally had been poured from a bottle that was intended to be decorative.

Troy Sykes captured cell-phone video of his experience, with the bar manager explaining that the decorative bottles were filled with water. Aramark has said it will stop that practice going forward. Sykes quickly got a refund; it sounds like what he really wanted was his drink.

“To see the Bucs play, you have to have a lot of alcohol in your system,” Sykes said.
