Alcohol = Guilt

[K.O]

I think i'm addicted to alchohol no shame there

But i'm tryin to cut back on the beer

[Golden-Gloves]

Boxing is my life, I couldnt have such passion or love for anything else, I feel like I let myself down, I lack discipline, I feel guilty because Alcohol is a toxin, a poison, and when I drink I'm poisoning my body, I feel like I'm taking a step backwards, and I feel like I'm not giving my 110% to be the best that I can possibly be..

My Father and Mother are both Alcoholics, the temptations and urges to drink are rediculous, but I often resists those temptations for the Sport I love..

Its hard, every Friday and Saturday night, all of your friends, all of the girls are drinking, having a good time, your sitting in the back all serious and sober, your the outcast, but you know what, its alright because I'm something they will never be..

One or two beer the odd weekend will not kill you. Just don't binge.

Do you mean you think you're better than people because you box?

[HELLRAZAH]

i look at it in a more confident way, like im good enough to drink and still beat sumones ass in the ring, but when im fighting i stop goin so hard

[DELETED ACCOUNT 06]

hahaha, because I have a drink or two every 5 months? Ricky Hatton is an alcoholic an he seems to do just fine..

but since your callin me out, where you live, whats your weight class, maybe we could set somethin up

Ricky Hattons not an alcoholic......a heavy drinker... yes... haha. You know in 2 or 3 years Hatton is gonna be retired, and i guarentee he is gonna get so fat it's gunna be ridiculous. He's just a fan of Guiness though, he treats it like his reward. When he's in training for a fight, he cuts it off dead and goes for it.

Some boxers do have vices...doesn't Mayorga smoke heavily? After reading Frank Bruno's autobiography he admitted to regularly smoking pot after a fight to calm his nerves and help him sleep.

I go for a drink, and have 4 or 5 beers every now and again,...sometimes its more... i don't think its slowed me down. I love going out, dancing, chasing birds and acting daft. I don't plan to be p4p champ, i just wanna fight a few times and enjoy life. So i guess i can do both.

if i was planning on going to the olympics...then i might quit. But i can reach my goals... and go out and paint the town red too.


- As for meeting up for a spar!? Don't you live in America? If i ever go on holiday near your place, we should meet up, train and go for a beer or something. That'd be cool.

Man even though I dont fight anymore I still pump all the time, and play plenty of sports. But I still have my beers at least once a week.

Do you mean you think you're better than people because you box?

I never said that I was better then anybody, I said I'm something that my friends will never be, they are all alcoholics and druggys, they never put themselfs to anything constructive.. But, yes, in a way I "feel" like a better person just for the way I feel I have carried out my life, compared to them..

In nature, the male fights for his dominance, his food, his females, and territory, we are still animals, just advanced, your telling me when you win a fight, you dont think your better then your opponent? Its instinct

Dayum this thread has got me thinking...Im on a break from College and go back in September...i rarely drink at all when im at college (I have a few at weekends) anywayz as i stated i'm on my "Break" period and i have been drinkin virtually non stop for the past 2 weeks haha...Seriously i get up at bout 12ish go for a run, go the gym, then as soon as im home il open a beer up and drink 4 the rest of the night....Like i said tho i rarely drink whilst at College so i guess this is my reward time or sumthin lol....Im kinda nervous tho i mean im kinda getting into a routine of drinking alot every night....Anybody else do this??

[MOREBASS]

I guess thats good that you feel guilty, alcohol is definitely not good for your body, but I wouldn't sacrifice having a good time for it. Not unless you're getting paid to do so.


There are tons of professional atheletes who enjoy a drink or ten...LOL...the key is moderation. If you're going to drink, just make sure you work extra hard the following day to make up for it. No big deal, especially if you're not a regular drinker.
