You appear to think that only getting physically incapacitated counts as drinking too much. A little research may change that opinion, especially when it comes to pro sports.

It's amazing how little people know, especially players, on the effects of alcohol up to 3 days after a game.

I think that was Kosh's point too.

No I don't, I am more than aware of drinking limits and the effects I see it on a regular basis at work!

Tongue in cheek...

RLFans get's 'all excited' about [isub judice[/i cases because they have the [ipotential[/i to get the site closed down and the owners fined large amounts of cash. And while you may be aware of the limits to what can and can't be discussed, many people who post on here are not. Hence the blanket ban.

At the time, this Aussie carried the entire team, and never once looked like his alleged off the field behavior affected his performance. Anyway, it's a ridiculous comparison because this said player was not at any time arrested and plastered all over the papers making our club look foolish, after having plenty of previous!

I'm not so sure. Plenty of otherwise mature, responsible people are happy to brag/joke about how much they had to drink at the weekend. That they behave well whilst drunk doesn't alter the fact that regular binge drinking is not good for anyone's health.

Yeah, but it's so fun!

Very disappointing new regarding Aspinwall. Glad the club have acted swiftly, don't think he will be given the boot though. He will get another chance, upto him to take it.

Your not sure my comment was tongue in cheek? I am sure Wolfie will confirm my comment was tongue in cheek! I assure you I am not a binge drinker! and I am more than aware of the effects of binge drinking.
Like most I have been drunk though, and my point is so have many and yet they know how to behave, maybe my idea of being drunk is different to others, I for one have never being that drunk I am not aware of what happened or what I said etc.

Not sure where this is going as my orignal reply is that I saw no problem with players having a few drinks, not once did I suggest they get plastered..Most adults/players are aware of how many drinks to consume without resorting to binge drinking, and I am sure most players enjoy one or two pints on a w/end after a game.

I saw all the players out on Saturday night and some of them was knocking back the shots like no tomorrow, also coming out of the arena one player was chucking his beer all over someone in the foyer and the door supervision had to intervene, not good in my book when they should be setting an example. That said player also came with a reputation for his drinking.
