Carlton board member Chris Judd is unhappy at veteran Dale Thomas, who had a couple of drinks at a charity function two nights before their latest loss.

Carlton veteran Dale Thomas is under club investigation for drinking at a charity function two nights before Sunday's AFL loss.

Blues board member Chris Judd made his disappointment clear about the circumstances.

Sunday's loss to St Kilda left Carlton two games clear at the bottom of the ladder and heaped more pressure on beleaguered coach Brendon Bolton.

Two nights before, Thomas attended a charity function and allegedly has told the club he had a club of glasses of wine at the dinner.

"I'm not one to 'infantise' players - if players have a single beer or a couple of wins over dinner, I don't have a huge problem," Judd told Channel Nine's Footy Classified.

"Needless to say, drinking, full-stop, in public, two days before a game when you're 1-9, fails the stupidity test clearly.

"So we'll wait and see what the result of the investigations are - I actually don't have the detail, I'm not spinning that.

"Watch this space."
