No Beer at the World Cup

From the Telegraph comes a report that Anheuser-Busch has paid $ 27 million to be the official beer of the 2006 World Cup to be held in Germany. And that McDonalds is the official sausage seller. That means that only Budweiser will be sold in the stadiums, and none of the various German sausages, only what MickyD’s provides.
Two hours without a hot dog should be acheivable even for Germans, but a whole match without beer ?

Note. Until a decade ago it was illegal in Germany to describe Budweiser as beer.
