Mullin describes relationship with alcoholHas never felt pressure to drinkDescribes hatred of hangoversGettyWHAT HAPPENED?

The free-scoring forward has had much to toast since his headline move to Wales two-and-a-half seasons ago, and while that fame has brought its share of glitz and glamour you're unlikely to bump into the 29-year-old knocking back champagne in a nightclub any time soon.

Writing in , Mullin reveals that while partial to an occasional drink, he's never been a huge fan of alcohol and is certainly happy to miss out on a hangover. Refreshingly, the striker also states that he's never felt pressure from team-mates at any time during his career to overindulge.

"The idea that there’s always pressure to be out with the lads, drinking and staying up half the night, is garbage," writes Mullin. "I’ve never seen or felt that. I don’t feel pressure to behave like anything, because I know I can just be myself.

"To be honest, even when I was younger I never liked nightclubs. I don’t get the attraction of going to a place where I can’t hear anyone. You’re there with your mates, but you can’t speak to them – what’s the point of that? I’d rather go to a pub and have a conversation, or to a restaurant and actually catch up with people.

"It’s not like I’m a big drinker either. Never have been. It doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t like the feeling of being too drunk; I don’t even like the taste of alcoholic drinks half the time. And I don’t like hangovers. It takes me three days to feel alright again. I just don’t see the attraction of doing that over and over again. If there’s a celebration, I’ll have a drink and enjoy that time with people, but I wouldn’t be drinking to get drunk. It’s just about being social."

British football was once inextricably linked with alcohol, with tales of booze-fuelled antics a mainstay of player autobiographies from the 1970s through to the early-2000s. But with an increased focus on diet and lifestyle, the modern generation of players are far less likely to indulge in the excesses of the past or feel the pressure to do so. Mullin's level-headed attitude to alcohol and socialising seems very much the norm in the modern-day game.

WHAT NEXT FOR PAUL MULLIN?

After FA Cup and EFL Trophy action, it's back to the League Two promotion race this Saturday with a trip to Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. Win, lose or draw, there won't be too much alcohol on board the team coach on the return trip from Gloucestershire.
