Yes, I do.

Well, it would drive me mad if my opponent took that long and I only had water and no alcohol next to me. As soon as it was my shot I'd go out and buy a double vodka and Smirnoff ice.

Some shots require a long time to work out a positive safety

And what if McManus had wanted to go for a Smirnoff?

Well, personally I think we should let them drink alcohol and why not have a rule where you can swap one of your toilet breaks for a "going to the bar" break. :shrug:

Because it's a professional sport. It aint you and your bucking mates.

I like a drink as much as the next man, but this is the World Championships. It's not a jolly.
