Indeed it can. There are studies showing that 120g of alcohol significantly affected the t/e the following day.

But, Landis says a beer or two and a Jack. A beer or shot is about 20g of alcohol. While it could have played a role, its not likely entirely the culprit.

OTOH, I don't think anyone can account for how the complete collapse on stage 16 factors in. Its not often that someone even gets tested under such circumstances.
