Quote: [Gareth] ""nowt wrong with a player getting ratted, even during the season (as long as its not a couple of days before a game) as alcohol doesnt tend to affect you for long after you have consumed it.
however, drugs are a different story and any professional should know better regardless of wether they are affected by them or not come game time'"
From an after effects point of view, id prefer the players to do the oposite, as after a heavy night on the larger i feel like i have been lanced in the forehead for a day!
Also the instant hit of many recreational drugs wears off within a very short space of time, due to the small amounts of product in them, so if they where all legal, id prefer anyone to be on them as opposed to the beers!
