Athletes behavior

Underground
1

I have been a mma fan for many years. I used to frequent the TUF forum until I found this one.
I used to box years ago at Del Porters in Milwaukee and the Eagles club.
I gave it up because I did not like getting hit in the face. I have done a few Ironman Tri's and 50 mile ultras and lots of marathons.

Watching TUF I can not believe the amount of Drinking and general negative behaviors. I would think that being fine tuned would be very important to fighting and training.
Nothing wrong with a beer now and again but is it just the crazy show behavior. What do most of you guys who train and fight think. Do you live a clean life or what.
I am really curious because when I raced competitively there was no room for it.

Thanks

I just had a fight and when it was over I happily had a few beers.  I also do Tris and when races are over, I happily have a few beers.  Drinking a couple of beers doesn't make someone less athletic or unhealthy.  As well, being trapped in a house for six weeks with no magazines, newspapers, telephones or any other articles to tie you to the outside world.... I might have a few good nights of fun with booze as well. 

And it's true that editing is a huge player in the show.  When you see guys drinking, it's either after they've lost already or well before they have to fight.  Editing makes it look quite different but that's tv and a need for ratings for you.
