When did they stop them drinking beer?

Late 80s probably, Steve Davis didn't drink and play.

All just drugs nowadays, so you dont see them doing that

He seemed to be the first. And then one year I noticed that nobody was drinking beer anymore. I didn't know at first whether it was voluntary or a ban.

Bill Werbeniuk liked a few pints lol

'Big Bill' Werbeniuk made 'pot of the century' and drank 76 beer cans in a match

Snooker legend ‘Big Bill' Werbeniuk holds a place in the sport's history for his iconic drinking and shot-making.

I'm only 40 minutes from Sheffield was a regular at crucible late 70s early 80s.
Was at the match where Cliff Thorburn and Terry Griffiths finished at nearly 4 in morning.
No I didn't go into work!

Time machine wouldn't work as O'Sullivan would be just a boy when Higgins was in his peak.

I think you've missed the point of a time machine....

I'd also love to see what Joe Davis would have made of RO'S.

I think the old players would be amazed by him, he does make it look so easy.
