Fwiw, the year of that game was around February, 1964 iirr. Drinking laws, and drinking mores, were a heckuva lot looser back then. A big difference also was the prevalence of smoking then too; it seemed that almost everyone smoked- and pretty well anywhere they wanted to also. We smoked in the dressing rooms at half-time and coaches would sneak in for a few puffs too. Spectators smoked in the hall right ouside the gym; no one went outside. In some high school gyms, they actually smoked while watching the game. Everyone smoked during NBA games too- for instance. Different world now.
