@ai6yr Here's the uncropped photo, Henri Colle and Charles Parel in Dalstein, during the 1921TdF. Stages in those days were often over 18 hours, and beer was considered a good way to get water and carbs into the body. Given the state of the art in endurance sports at the time, they weren't far off the mark. This wasn't uncommon even into the 1960s. Energy drinks have replaced the practice entirely.
