Never with a game remaining to be played that day...in fact, an 8:00 game could be trouble for the coach who is still up pounding beers at 1:30 AM. Many of us have heard those safety presentations at work about how long alcohol stays in the system and that your body takes about an hour for each .01% BAC to be filtered out. So, if you are at .18% at 1 AM....guess what...you are still over .08% at 8 AM. Yeah...legally drunk! Too drunk to drive!
There are plenty of other times to have a nip...when the safety of the girls is on the line, when your time to be a role model is on the line, when the job you are doing for which these parents are paying a lot of money...when that is on the line...no booze. EVER.
If you feel like you NEED it between the games, then we have a different situation on our hands and I wish that coach and his/her family the best of luck. There are many programs out there to help that person. IMO, you don't NEED it at that hour. You are better than that, coach.
Put the can down, and step up and be a good role model for these young girls. They are very impressionable right now, and they will do what they see! Remember that!
