Seriously. We have a prep school in our area that offers ice cold beer, along with soda, and water, to officials. It's iced, and ready to go before the game, is very tempting at halftime, but nothing tastes better than an ice cold beer immediately after a game. A Catholic middle school use to offer the same, along with pizza, and hamburgers, but the coach, and athletic director, moved on to greener pastures, and now all we get is a Gatorade.

That is really fantastic, but in today's political correctness surely a dying tradiation. I hear you on the cold beer immediately after a hard work out. I remember from my motocross days, that beer after the final race of the day was the best one!

About six years ago at my son's youth club soccer game in Germany, the referee enjoyed his halftime with a large German Pils beer and a cigarette (Under-15 age group), sitting right in the middle of the loyal fans. If I remember correctly, he seemed to have a much better second half so maybe the German officials are on to something here.
