I think it's the size of the beer. If you drink beer at most pubs in Calgary they usually soak you when you ask for a pint (12-14 ounces) so it's hard to judge how a good 16 ounce pint of beer should make you feel. A can of beer is 12 ounces (355 mililiters) while a draft at the dome is 16 ounces (475 mililiters). So if you have a pint before the game and one for each period in cans that's 48 ounces (4 cans) and in draft it's 64 ounces (5.33 cans) or over a beer more in the same time frame.

Combine that with the probability of not eating as much as you normally would because you are actively watching a game and consuming beer and I'd say that's how you feel so tipsy.

I can't buy the sludge in the lines idea because I had a friend that served liquor at the dome and he told me that they do keep seperate kegs in the nose bleed seats (maybe all kiosks but I only asked him about the lines to the bleeders). And I've certainly felt the effects of heroin beer during a night of drinking up there.
