No one knows his personal pain. You guys are quick to attack players but all that fame and money is difficult for some to balance. He is a talented player I wish him well.

Binge drinking is not an alcoholic.An alcoholic drinks everyday and would never been in the physical peak condition to represent top level rugby teams like the Crusaders and All Blacks
If he was not a famous person their is no way that he would book counselling for binge drinking sessions, this is just to satisfy the sponsers etc.

At least the wine will be better and the nudity won't bother the French that much, but he must passop, the French Outoppies might hit back!

so Sebaastienchabel because your Dad was an alcoholic and the Tennis champ for the pub team down the road- you are able to determine anyone who is an alcoholic- Puleeze!
If being an Alocholic destroys the body like you say- can you explain how Zac Guilford was an All Black? The fitness levels of the All Blacks is insane.

@sharkbok,
i can understand the title of ur thread as that is ur standard MO, but why would u go to such lengths as to edit ur article title to match ur thread title???
"Binge drinking is not an alcoholic.An alcoholic drinks everyday and
would never been in the physical peak condition to represent top level
rugby teams like the Crusaders and All Blacks"
ur knowledge on alcoholism is even lower than ur knowledge on good attacking rugby which has been proven to be non existent.
zac is an alcoholic or recovering alcholic, he admitted it last year when he went to rehab, or do u know more about zac guilford than zac guilford??? o_O
his AA sponsor has spoken a few times about the good work that zac has been putting in since his time in rehab, binge drinkers dont normally get sponsors.
do u really think that zac is the only high performance athlete in the world who is an alcoholic???
as sebastianchabal pointed out, there are different levels of alcoholism, and while zacs isnt exactly on a leaving las vegas level, hes still dealing with a lot of things u couldnt even begin to grasp with such uneducated and narrow comments.

of course Zac Guilford is going to say he is an alcoholic.
What else is going to say...Oh yeah I get pissed and I like having fights and causing shit. All my sponsors can get stuffed because that is the way I roll!
Lots of people bing drink and cause trouble. Have you ever been to a major night club and seen how many people get thrown out by the night club bouncers. If it happens with someone famous it is in the news and they have to show remorse for their actions. The easiest way out is to say their are struggling with alcoholism.
I don't claim to be an authority on being an alcoholic but I am sure that it is related to drinking frequently and not bing drinking.
I bing drink and sometimes cause shit, as do other people that I have grown up with- at night but this does not mean being an alcoholic.
It just means not being able to handle alcohol and drinking to fast. When I was Zac Guilford's age nearly everyone I rolled with would have been classified as an alcoholic under this media defined and expected persona for athletes.
I still maintain that if a player can make the All Blacks their fitness level is far beyond an alcoholic.
