I have encountered people who drink during the day. A couple of them were relatively heavy drinkers. Don't know how they did it. I was riding with some friends in Italy last year. A couple of times we stopped for lunch and the waiters were very surprised that my GF and I did not want any wine with our meals. I just can't do it. Totally kills my motivation. In hot weather it would be even worse.
