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?
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.
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?
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.
