Drake Maye says he drinks alcohol fewer than 5 times a year, even though teammates and friends have flamed him and told him he was missing out, says he sees drinking as voluntarily making goals harder to reach “It started from my dad, really. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him take a sip of alcohol. My brother Luke didn’t drink growing up. My brother Bo doesn’t drink. It’s something where I just followed people that I really admired. That’s my dad, my oldest brother Luke.” “I’ll get on the beach and have a piña colada, but I’m not one to drink. I probably drink less than five times a year, 10 times a year. I’ve been used to people I admire putting away something that I feel like can prohibit you from reaching your goals.” “It’s always hard for me because people joke about, ‘Man, you’re not one of the boys, having a drink. You’re missing out on a great time.’ But it’s become my ritual. Unless I’m on the beach and maybe get a piña colada, it’s not really something I enjoy.” “Even in college, I didn’t really have that itch to get out there and enjoy those things. Sure, I may have missed some of those nights with teammates or some college buddies, but at the end of the day, I don’t think it was worth it for me.”
