– Should I have a beer? Calm down, and not just a bottle. There is nothing like that here. Why do hockey players drink so much? What do you mean by drinking? We just like to relax. After hockey, you are tired, it is normal to have a few glasses of wine or beer. For example, I like beer, I like drinking beer. It makes you feel relaxed and relieves tension. I like the taste of beer, mostly light. But when the pre-season begins, you have to give up beer.
“Are there hockey players who don’t drink at all? There are, but I can’t imagine myself as a person who says he doesn’t drink. You can take a break for a while, but after the game, two or three cans of beer are, on the contrary, useful,” Ovechkin said in an interview on Amiran Sardarov’s YouTube channel.
