Now looka here son, baseball used to have a pro league called the beer and whiskey league where non-drinkers were called "deacon" or "grandma". David Wells self-reportedly pitched his no-hitter half-drunk. Wade Boggs reportedly would have a few beers before games to cure his hangovers. John Daly used to drink a case during rounds. John Riggins played a game on mushrooms and was drunk most the time. Paul Hornung went out and had one of the best games of his NFL career drunk. There were a number of top swimmers at the 1996 Olympics that tested positive for cannabis, but it wasn't banned by FINA at the time.
