    I played beer league rugby, there was pretty frequently beer on the field or at least the sidelines. And the losing team had to pay for the keg.

      That's all well and good, but I'm talking at a professional level. Televised, competitive league play, doctors ensuring a certain blood alcohol, cholesterol and lung damage level for all competitors. They should do back to back games where teams need to play another game hungover early the next morning. Really put these guys through it.

        Isn't that just any professional sport before 1990? I remember watching a youtube doc about sports nutrition, and a former player from the 80's was telling that his "warm up" meal before a football game was 2 hotdogs and a cherry coke.
