No doubt it would do him a world of good.
The time to party is AFTER the job is done.
This turd spent his time partying and never once had the brains to remind himself of all the good parties he would have had if he had done his job. he could have been a hero and gotten laid a thousand times, Now he is a dunce and might find a woman who likes losers.
You might be right. I didn't read whether or not he bothered showing up for practice. If he really did party and not prepare, then it is an example of wasted potential.
