KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — It’s not an official holiday, but a lot of the negative things that go along with holidays are also a problem today, like excessive alcohol consumption and drunk driving.
If you are throwing a Super Bowl party, you will be doing your friends a favor if you emphasize the food and ration the drinks.
And if someone at your party over indulges, make sure they get home safely by putting them in a cab or summoning an Uber driver or driving them yourself.
There is another way that Super Bowl Sunday is like a holiday. It’s good for certain businesses. And while there is no exchange of gifts there is certainly a jump in sales of beer and snacks of every kind and it’s one of the busiest days of the year for pizza delivery businesses.
If you stroll into Meijer on West Main Street, there is a nine-foot tall display of snacks that is 40 feet long. Chicken wings sell out, and the big game also gives a big boost to big screen TV sales.
