    Nobody said they should be teetoal.

    But, personally I always felt those greats who were or are had a mindset about them. That alcohol was a toxin that they weren't going to ingest....

    Floyd Mayweather springs to mind. Ali too...although his religion was a factor. Ali to my knowledge was not a drinker of any sort pre Islamic conversion.

    Federer for me just gave off the vibe and air of someone who wasn't a drinker of any sort. Rare or otherwise.

    Andy Murray I believe is teetotal...

    Robert Harting got so drunk celebrating his Olympic gold in the discus in 2012 that he passed out on a train, had his accreditation robbed, and couldn't get back into the Olympic village.

    Didn't do him any harm. He came back and won World gold the next year.

    Frankly who cares if somebody drinks or not. An occasional blowout makes zero difference to whether somebody will be successful or not.
