People have claimed for years that Heroine beer gets you drunker because it ferments in the long lines. What you said was right in line with what people have incorrectly been saying for a long, long time.

In fact, here's a whole thread from a while back where folks debunked exactly that thought because the myth was so prevalent.
It even has posts where people still claim that it is/was due to the lines not being cleaned.

Apparently, I have thoughts on the topic...

A pint is 473mL, a regular can is 355mL, and a bottle is 341mL.

So, if you drink 2 Saddledome draft per period, that's the equivalent of 7.5 pints or almost 10.5 bottles of beer...in about 3 hours.

So, if you're drinking 6 of them during the game, you're consuming a little over 3.5 litres of beer in about 2 and a half hours (or the equivalent of 10 cans of beer).
