Yep. The restrictions for fasting are in regard to eating, or, rather,
not eating. Doesn't say nuthin' 'bout drinking, especially when some
ales and beers were specifically mashed for their dextrins rather than
for fermentables. In short, there's a distinct possibility these people
weren't so much drinking an alcoholic beverage as drinking "liquid bread".
