New data shows Houston alcohol sales plummeted without thirsty tourist in town for the Super Bowl.

The Texas Comptroller recently released data on alcohol sales in the month of March, showing a steep drop off in revenue for many bars and hotels when compared to February.

In other words, it’s back to business as usual for many booze sellers.

FANFARE: Here’s who sold the most alcohol in Houston during Super Bowl month

The most notable example is the Underdogs Pub in Washington Ave, a small bar who made headlines for tripling its annual revenue during the Super Bowl and raking in $745,000 in alcohol sales.

In March, Underdogs Pub made $2,513 in sales or about a 99.66 percent decrease when compared to February.

IN DECLINE: Houston companies that dropped the most in the Fortune 500

Still, just because the Super Bowl is gone doesn’t mean Houstonians didn’t have a reason to drink. Spring Break, March Madness and the Houston Rodeo gave Bayou City residents more than enough excuses to drink.

Click through above to see who sold the most alcohol in Houston during the month of March.
