Mixing fishing with alcohol.

[Baynesey]

Thought id start this thread to see wot everyones views were, about mixing fishing and alcohol.
Mainly because the way the age thread has gone and another reason is because from the articles ive read lately lee jackson like to take wine when on a session, which got me thinking.
Is he really sending out the right message to younger reads of the mag's (16 and less). Who shouldnt really be drink it anyway but those who do, may copy him. he doesnt mention the amount that he drink's, so this could give out the wrong message. Dont get me wrong i love lee hes a great carper and love to read any articles he does.

my thought are is that its ok, as long as it only a few.

The last thing u want is to endanger your life and that of the fishes

It may sound like im being a bored git but its mainly for the reasons above that im saying this

I think as you have said a few is ok but you do not want to danger youeself falling in or losing a decent fish all because you are p*****

i agree there

I don't want to sound like i'm preaching but I never drink when I'm fishing. I go fishing to fish & I try and stay focus on catching. If I want a beer then I go to the pub, and believe me, I like a drink when i'm there

I don't have a problem with people drinking whilst they are fishing just as long as it doesn't effect me. There are great many people who do enjoy a beer on the bank and from a safety point of view, drinking in moderation is fine, getting plastered though is just stupid.

As for Jacko's message about drinking wine, half the kids that go night fishing these days are socialising with far more stronger things than a bottle of red wine

Drinkin in moderation is fine as long as its just that. i drink one or two bottles while fishing but do not get plastered as i want to catch and focus on this. i have no probs with others drinking while fishing as long as it does not affect me.
