Its illegal to be under the influence of alcohol in some lawn bowl tournaments. It helps you relax, thus you can concentrate better.
It's illegal also here, two of my teammates were disqualify last year in the playoffs, because they had that nasty alcohol stink. But myself on the other hand, go to the games with a nasty hang-over or under one beer, which isn't noticable with a nose.
In my last tournament at the end of March.....we went to Finland for a Eatser Tournament, well I still don't remember how I got that far, I was already high in the 1st hour when we got on the bus, took a shot for each green light.....The whole team was like drunk from 16:00-04:00, we went each night to a pub or club, and were back only in the night, then from 8:00-11:00 we looked like shit......then 12:00-16:00 we had games, which we won easily. And we started to drink right after the game in the locker room. But we got the 1st place, everybody were scared of us, and we had a great time......the little kids, when they saw us buying liquid, the 1st said: "They are drinking again" the 2nd kid: "They are always drinking", then 3rd kid said: "Yeah, but they still manage to win". And we didn't drink champagne from the cup, but we poir in some Finlandia!.....we even built our own cup from beer cans in the room!.....was a awsome time, sadly those days are over!
