Gerard Houiller said footballers drinking - at any time - was like putting diesel into a Formula One car. The foreigner players know this and don't touch alcohol at all. You're still living in the 70s Stew, they don't live of fish and chips and pints of bitter 3 days a week anymore.
Hence, why today's top footballers are lightweight and go over at the touch of a feather. I'm not saying that a footballer should pig out on every occasion they can, just that their diet really doesn't need to be as stringent as that of, say, a long distance runner.
