The day they return to training every measure of their metabolic ability. , fat , muscle breathing etc will be measured and the deficient areas identified and targeted .
If they don’t get up to scratch it’s their fault and they will not play or be selected - it’s up to the individual to decide for themselves what path to take .

There is a small floor in this argument. Humans drink milk for nutrition, having an enzyme to break it down is handy to stay alive and not get the ****s. Humans generally don’t drink alcohol for nutrition, mainly to get inebriated. Having a small amount of enzyme in your liver is handy as unless drinking enormous quantities, it is unlikely to kill you, however it takes time to break down moderate amounts of alcohol in the bloodstream. Hey presto longer lasting inebriation / fun. Without this we wouldn’t bother drinking alcohol. Having large amounts of alcohol dehydrogenase (enzyme) would render drinking alcohol pointless as the high would be only very brief.
Yes drinking alcohol is not a good idea as an athlete, but this has to be balanced by the positives of the shared experience, ultimate reward for success, which could only come from the drive and restriction of alcohol intake when it mattered most.
You’re right but humans are only ‘supposed’ to drink human milk as infants for nutrition. The enzyme some humans developed for lactose tolerance in adulthood was due to Indo-Europeans drinking cow milk regularly as part of their pastoral culture. The enzyme only appeared about 5,000 years and didn’t become dominant in the population until about 3,000 years ago. That’s really recent in the grand scheme of evolution.
On the other hand, humans have been drinking concentrated alcohol in some form for much longer than that (about 50,000 years) but our livers haven’t adapted to break it down beyond the enzyme for breaking down trace amounts in fruit. I think it takes an hour for a human liver to break down 0.015% of alcohol. Again, you’re right that if our livers adapted to break it down much quicker, it would make drinking alcohol redundant because we’d never get drunk from it.
My original point was that there are lots of things humans technically shouldn’t consume such as cow milk or alcohol but some are significantly more poisonous than others and our bodies have evolved to metabolise these ‘poisons’ differently.
Alan Ball had egg and chips with his wife at Knutsford services after winning the world Cup.
The team bonding is probably the pro against the con of drinking.
I have no problem with it, Hope they have a good time

If you mean nobody has said FACT after posting stuff then you're right but you don't have to be a genius to read between the lines. And you know what you can do with your straw man!
Bloody Nora, check out the fun police.
****ing hell, they've just got promoted and the season doesn't start for 3 months. They can have a few nights in the piss to celebrate then get back on it.
I know people have been complaining about Coyle being seen out in town with a beer in his hand during the season, but you'd think he'd been pictured off his tits and covered in puke in the gutter.
Have a great time lads

Jim Standen went and did a stock check at his sports shop after winning the Fa Cup.
I’d understand some of the criticism if still in pub at the end of June , but I bet they will probably be back in the gym next week . Most of them have just achieved the greatest thing they will ever achieve , leave them to it
Hope they wont be in the gym next week
Its good for the body to have a few weeks off
Gaining a bit of fat will do them good
Itll burn off fast
Fair enough but you get my point , I’ll never forget Jon Parkin walking out at Ferriby and I thought we had signed Giant Haystacks, I don’t think that will happen with these lads
