Alekhine's alleged to have drunk himself under the table during games, although a lot of the stories about him are said to be wildly exaggerated.

Couldn't have been too exaggerated if you look at a picture of Alekhine when he was only 52 years old.

Solid proof chess and quality beer go hand in hand.
