Yeah, that's a bizarre ride intake. Beers, grappas, espressos, iced coffees every 20 miles, sodas. Not very healthy. I think most people would pass out at home after pouring booze and caffeine down the pipe on rides. And if these are actual training rides (for 15 mile races?) then it's just plain weird.
