Here’s the list of sports in which we’ve won a medal in the ongoing 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China: Billiards (gold + silver), Bowling (gold + bronze), Dancesports (2 bronzes), and Wushu (bronze).

You know what all these sports have in common?

These activities could all be done while drinking alcohol. Yes, even wushu, which is also known as kung fu, as anyone who has ever seen a Jackie Chan film would tell you. In fact, one could argue that alcohol greatly enhances the enjoyment of doing these activities. Especially wushu.



Right now, we’re on track for another couple of medals in golf. Of course, it’s almost routine in golf courses to enjoy a cocktail or a cold one in between the front and back nines. Coincidence?

UPDATE: HoopTalk918 reports on Twitter that Tshomlee Go just won a bronze medal in taekwondo, our first medal in a “dry” sport.
