At a previous programming job I had, we used to regularly have a beer at lunch (in the UK) and it didn't feel like it affected my productivity at the time. This was in my early 20's. I'm now in my early 30's and I find that a beer at lunch just makes me feel tired in the afternoon, so I avoid it.
The point is, it probably affects people in completely different ways depending on physiology, age and health.

We had one project sponsor that would agree to something, then go down the pub, get lashed, and reverse his previous decisions. That was... fun. I also knew one guy that used to get wasted at lunchtime, and then lay down in the data centre to sleep it off. Different times.
