Coach says he drank too much to celebrate...

[Zim Hosein]

BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath admitted Sunday that he was unable to make it to his team's championship victory celebration on a Rhine River pleasure boat Saturday night because he drank too much on the bus ride there.

"I celebrated before we got there and wasn't able to make in on the ship," Magath told German television network WDR on Sunday before a training match in the western city of Bonn. "I had more than one too many."

Magath, an avid drinker of green tea, had not had any alcohol at all in the last six months, according to Bayern commercial manager Uli Hoeness. He told German television Magath had three glasses of champagne and beer on the bus to Cologne.

"Because Felix has not had a drop of alcohol for more than half a year, he did not feel capable of celebrating any more after the bus ride to Cologne," Hoeness said, referring to Bayern's two-hour bus ride from Kaiserslautern Saturday after they clinched the championship with a 1-1 draw.

"The three glasses of champagne and the beer had a devastating effect," Hoeness said, adding Magath had not eaten anything either before the celebrations. "He had quite a bit to drink."

Reuters originally reported it. Unless you work for Reuters and/or were the originating reporter, I wasn't addressing you. Although it doesn't make much sense to post something like this, either.

While true, I'm personally curious what was the motivation for the post, or what you found odd about the article. Was that amount of alcohol too much or too little to get drunk on, or was it something else?

Since this is a typical Zim "I didn't really mean it that way" post, I'll come right out and say:
That coach is a fvcking lightweight, OTOH maybe he was really tired to begin with.

Heh ok. I couldn't figure out if he meant he was a lightweight or he drank too much. 😕

I've had stints where I haven't drank in awhile and I'd get easily buzzed off the same amount of alcohol that he had.

I hardly ever drink anymore, and I easily get buzzed on one beer. Back in college I would normally stop at nine beers.

Maybe he had some friendly fans to keep him company while he recovered.

How much beer? Three glasses of champagne and a couple of cans isn't very much.
