Houston, TX (October 1, 2012) – Responsible Houston Texans fans earned valuable rewards before their AFC South game with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday September, 30. Bud Light and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition partnered to promote the Bud Light Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge in the Budweiser Plaza at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas before the game.Throughout the game, more than 1,100 fans made the pledge to be a designated driver for their group. Before the game, fans had the opportunity to sign a larger-than-life football and receive a free souvenir photo. At the end of the season, one randomly selected Designated Driver will be selected as the Houston Texans Designated Driver for the Season, representing the Texans in the Responsibility Has Its Rewards sweepstakes. If the Houston Texans make it to the Super Bowl, the Designated Driver of the Season and a guest will receive two tickets, hotel and airfare to watch their favorite team.
