Pilots who never drink alcohol worry me. Flying is often a stressing occupation. After a flight the stress needs to be dissipated somehow. Some of the most stressful pilots to fly with are those who really never touch a drop.
Yeah, right...I for one beat copilots to get rid of the stress.
Your advice is most likely a sound one, next time I fly 8 legs on a single day, I´ll help myself to a pint between every leg and I´m sure I will be grinning (aka stressfree) at the end of the day!
And don´t tell me one pint a leg is not moderate.
