DARTS hero Dave Chisnall had the perfect response after a fan claimed the World No 10 was drunk during a shock defeat.
Chisnall slumped 6-4 to fellow Englishman Ryan Meikle in the last 64 of Players Championship 11 in Leicester this week.

And one fan appeared to reckon Chizzy might currently be better at checking stout than checking out.
The oche enthusiast even made a suggestion about his own game that was even more far-fetched as his claim about the 44-year-old.
He posted on X: “I can shoot better darts than Dave Chisnall in his current form and I’ve never played a day in my life.
“Imagine being a pro dart player and throwing a total score between 20 and 50 multiple times in a single match. Is he drunk?”
Chisnall took the jibe well – and responded by showing he was as sharp as ever, even if his darts isn’t quite at his best.
He replied: “Gonna start shooting darts instead of chucking them and see if I end up doing any better.”
Defeat against World No 64 Meikle came just a day after Micky Mansell sunk him 6-5.
But Chisnall is confident his dodgy spell is all down to changing his technique.

He said last month: “It’s hard to explain, but the first dart is going too high, and I have to switch.
“I’ve tried messing around with my throw, but it doesn’t work.
“The weird thing is, I end up seeing the bottom of my flight when I hold the dart. It catches the corner of my eye and I end up losing concentration.
“Only I know how to throw my darts and I will just have to work on and find a way of fixing. “
But chisnall believes peak form is just around the corner.
And when it returns it could trebles all round… the board.
