I'm not sure if you are speaking of consuming alcohol while playing sports, or the night before? But i do know that health care professionals advise that one should avoid it if they are preparing for a sports match. As it has been proven to produce a lethargic effect the next day, and 2 hours after initial consumption. It is a central nervous system depressant, resulting in a relaxed feeling, and a loss of coordination. And i may be going out on a limb here but almost all sports require coordination and focus. Alcohol promotes neither. But if you win your match- that's a different story. Nothing is better than celebrating your hard win with an ice cold pint.
Cred: My degree is in Health Sciences. I have consumed alcohol before a night football practice in the thought that it wouldn't really matter and it may even "jack" me up more- this was not the result.
