It kills hundreds of people a year. I know people who have died because of it and a good friend permanently seriously injured by a drunk driver.
It's done by narcissistic morons who think they can drive having drunk a mind altering chemical....a drug....a depressant drug.
Your club has a serious problem with it. You have a player almost every season done for it. It's a serious f#cking problem.
Your serial offenders and your club, led by your chairman should do something public about it not wish the latest offender happy birthday on the day of his conviction.

Of course it could be classed as bringing the club into disrepute but might not in itself automatically be classed as gross misconduct with grounds for summary dismissal. Of course drink related misdemeanours can be specified in a contract of employment enough that are grounds for such but I doubt the club would have that in players contracts.
Given the incidences of players getting tanked up and stepping out of line (in whatever way that manifests itself) within RL circles and the bad impression/socially irresponsible behaviour that portrays especially with regard to children following the club/player involved maybe it's time clubs took a hard line and state drink related offences that end up with criminal proceedings (& found guilty) ARE gross misconduct and subject to summary dismissal after accruing all the facts and following proper procedure.

Don't let your blind support affect your morals will you.....
