How do I play men's rugby without getting involved with the atrocious alcoholism?

Question

and grotesque behaviour with which it is indelibly linked?

Answer 1

Difficult one to answer for if you walk away you are seen as not one of the boys etc and if you indulge then you are not happy. Limit yourself to a couple of drinks and then go onto soft drinks and just distance yourself from the other people but be careful not to distance yourslef too far from them or you may be dropped from the team. I always found (1970/1980's) that there were other people not impressed with the behaviour so form a little group of your own. Sadly it has always gone on.

Answer 2

claim that you've got liver problems and so can't drink

Answer 3

Play another sport as your question shows you know nothing about rugby!!!

Answer 4

I know loads of rugby players and was brought up in rugby clubs! Yes, they enjoyed a few pints after a match and some are more rowdy than others, BUT one does not have to drink if one doesn't want to! if your not happy then go an play for a Libyan or Iranian team or just don't follow the flock.

Answer 5

play for BYU or Univ. of Utah...

Answer 6

Play at fly-half.

Answer 7

It's always your choice, how to behave! You don't actually need to follow the herd.

Answer 8

when your team mates start drinking tell them that you are allergic to alcohol so that you always know what you are doing and if any funny games start make your excuses and leave

Answer 9

Arrive just before the game is about to start and meet at the ground. That way you don't have to get drunk to have courage on the field!

Answer 10

You just go home after the games.  I would join a team not offiliated with a university, lessens your chances of going boozing and getting naked each week.

Answer 11

Play rugby union!!!

Answer 12

AND THE POINT OF THE QUESTION IS??
