booze

do you think boxers are more likely to have drink problems compared to other sportsmen?
to those of you who box,do you feel the frequent urge for a bevvy?

 

slows u down mate same with weed

 

Makes no sense whatsoever. Why would boxers be more likely to drink more than anyone else?

 

its mainly boxers who have demons of the past to deal with. alcohol, drugs etc.

 

How did you work this one out?

 

it's all about human psychology, people get into boxing because they have been abused as a kid, mental, physical or emotional it doesnt matter. Anger, violence, drug and alcohol abuse etc.

 

People box because they want to box. Some may have these issues, but not many.

Making a generalisation like that is just stupid.

 

u say some, i say many. there is no proof.

 

Well the fact is that Boxing is a sport done by the poor. The problems mentioned are often a result of poverty, therefore boxers are more likely to have these problems than say.... Water polo players.

 

The name of this thread is awesome...BOOZE! **** yeah.

Anyways, I box because its fun.

I also drink because its fun.

I see a correlation...do you?

 

wtf

 

Another stupid generalisation.

 

It ok to drink once in awhile, myself and a few of the lads on the senior ireland time do but only if nothing coming up or had a day or two on a training camp.

 

pmsl

shut up mate
