This was while playing for Shanny in Denver.

That is just one example of many of NFL players playing successfully hung over. Another that comes to mind was the white WR from one of the first few Super Bowls who played the game hungover because he didn't think he would play and was very successful as well. It is a problem though.

for sure you can get successful but it increases the chances of injury by like... an awful lot!
