Overview
- In a Men’s Health cover feature published in early September, Maye said he drinks fewer than five to ten times a year and generally avoids alcohol.
- Maye credited his abstention to family examples from his father and brothers and to habits his wife helped him adopt after college.
- He explained that avoiding alcohol improves physical recovery and focus, which he sees as helping him reach career goals rather than as a moral stance.
- Maye said he studies Tom Brady’s approach to preparation by observation rather than frequent direct contact and aims to build similar day-to-day standards.
- Reporters note his comments fit a broader generational trend of younger athletes drinking less and that the regimen is discussed as part of projections about his durability and the Patriots’ long-term outlook.
