It used to be mandatory in Alabama during the first three weeks of the season and strongly encouraged any other time but still left to the referee's discretion. Now it is solely up to the referee but still encouraged. It hasn't been mandatory in Georgia since I've been here (2003). I've been at one game since where heat breaks were taken. But most players don't play both ways and the coaches and trainers do a good job keeping fluids in the kids.
