"He feels well enough to continue with his full activities," White House counselor Dan Bartlett told reporters. "He feels terrible about any disruption he may have caused."
Low-alocohol beer, my dimpled ass.

Check out this picture. Look at the beer in front of him and the ice bucket against the wall. This picture is from last year.

Veritas beat me to it--but I'll second the symptoms of Antabuse with a beer chaser.
