Athletes and Alcohol, Donald MacDonald , extract children's fiction children's
A short piece from MacDonald's The Bush Boy's Book in which the author promotes abstinence from alcohol and smoking because it impairs the 'staying power' of athletes, and of men in general. MacDonald reflects that 'it is better to be a decent coward any day than to run the risk of becoming a common sot every day'.
