I'll just correct that extended post for you..
It just begs a few questions:
1) why is he drinking anything at all
2) even if he is, why is he posting pictures of it on Twitter as a professional sportsman, particularly one with a history of issues with booze
3) following up posting pictures of drinks on Twitter with foul mouthed, unprovoked rants on Twitter is boneheaded,even for him.
Irrespective of the Twitter nonsense, I wouldn't be happy with a player who is apparently trying to kick his bad habits that have caused him so much trouble in the past posting pictures of them on the internet.
I also think the days of accepting professional players drinking before training should be gone but I admit that not all players will behave that way at any club. I bet there is a high correlation between those that don't drink during the season and fulfilment of potential though. I mean - how long has he had off?! With a week to go before the first game he can't go without drinking?
