ACEDAD- what's your policy about athletes drinking, are the rules different if they are of legal age or not?  I feel that it's never okay, whether you are legal or not, someone can get hurt and it can be very serious, I can't imagine someone getting hurt and finding out later that a coach knew someone was under the influence


Underage is never acceptable.  ACE had it happen about 8 years ago.  Happy sent three kids home the night before a national competition and it hasn't happened since.

For legal age open athletes competing, it's not acceptable until after the competition and, even then, the above policy that was mentioned for coaches still applies.

And for coaches, we're never allowed to drink when wearing any gym logo even if it's just out at dinner.
