Edmontonians hold it in for Gold Medal action, let it go during intermission

This is pretty hilarious. During the Gold Medal game two weekends ago, Edmonton's water usage drops significantly during the action and rises dramatically during the intermission. Guess no one was willing to miss a second of the action to take a washroom break.

This great graph comes from Yale Professor Chris Blattman's international development blog, of all places. As he notes, "I believe the beer consumption picture looks exactly the same, but upside down."

H/T to my friend Lev for the link.
