As goofy as it sounds, beer is actually one of the most ridiculously overpowered items in the game. It multiplies your melee damage output by 40%, lets you take 40% less damage, and boosts insulation. Strangely, the hangover debuff is actually a disease, and is removed by lesser antidote or milk. Use this to run turrets or completely melt foes with ludicrous melee damage.
