When I went to the Kentucky Derby, I was surprised by how few people were drinking Mint Juleps and how many were drinking cases of Bud Light. It was a particularly hot year, so not sure if this is normal, but I saw at least a dozen people carted off by the EMS golf carts hours before the Kentucky Derby was run.

I've been to a bunch of events, including the Indy 500, Times Square for NYE, and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and by far people were more sloppy drunk at the Kentucky Derby.

Times Square has banned alcohol on NYE for at least the last decade, and the state of Indiana blocks all Sunday alcohol sales, so I expect those two events to be a little more toned down.

You can buy alcohol on Sunday in Indiana as long as it's 12pm or later [0]. And you can bring your own alcohol to the Indy 500 as long as it's not in glass [1].
