Alcohol's endemic nature with sport has seen alcoholic beverage sponsorships become a staple within the sporting ecosystem, from major international sports events right down to smaller, more local sports properties. For alcoholic beverage brands, sport sponsorship is one of the keystones of their marketing activities as sports fans often represent a collective gathering of a demographic which aligns well with that of their target audience, whilst the consumption of alcohol is widely regarded as an important component of watching the sport.
