    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>London, Aug 29<\/strong> - Australian opening batsman David Warner will continue to enforce a self-imposed booze ban during his team&#39;s limited overs cricket series against England, but said he would have ended it to celebrate if Australia had won the Ashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Australia lost the five-match Test series 2-3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warner didn&#39;t take any alcoholic drink since prior to the two-Test tour of the Caribbean in May in order to keep his body in peak condition for the Ashes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if Australia had been able to retain the Ashes urn, Warner says it would have been a moment worthy of a beer with his teammates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;It&rsquo;s been 100 days now so it&rsquo;s quite bizarre,&quot; Warner was quoted as saying by criket.com.au on Saturday.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I did think I had it in me to do it but it&rsquo;s about the discipline. I said from the start before I went to the West Indies that I wanted to give myself the best opportunity to get through the West Indies, the Ashes, a home series, to give myself the best opportunity because we have a lot of cricket to play and I&rsquo;ve got to keep my body fresh and by doing that and by all means.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The left-hander said Australia&#39;s Ashes defeat poured cold water on all plans he had of ending his booze ban.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;You can celebrate and drink but at the moment I don&rsquo;t feel we&rsquo;ve had anything to celebrate. We&rsquo;ve won a couple of Test matches and you&rsquo;ve got to enjoy your wins because they&rsquo;re very rare to come by,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Had we won the (Ashes) series I probably would have had a drink. For me it&rsquo;s about a personal choice and I&rsquo;m feeling for my body for the longevity of my career so I&rsquo;ve got try and put myself and the team first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warner was also happy for sacrificing drinking for the sake of his career and is particularly proud of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;For me to have a good career and a long career I&rsquo;ve got to sacrifice little things to help the team and my part is to not drink at the moment. By all means I&rsquo;m not going to stop drinking forever. If I feel there&rsquo;s a need to have a drink I will.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
