A boxing match from Cincinnati was on the old Dumont TV network around 1950, sponsored by a beer.
After each round the announcer would pour a glass of the product, take a pull, remark how good it was, and repeat. By six or eight rounds he was pretty lush.

While intoxication is one possibility, I wonder if it might have been a stroke or other complication from having had covid-19. I’m no medical professional, but my understanding is that the secondary complications are a serious risk.
Whatever the cause, I hope he’s okay.
