From the beer story collection: Emmanuel Macron downs a bottle of Corona in one
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] He can often be seen chanting 'Allez Les Bleus' from the stands while cheering on French sports stars.
But it was more a case of 'allez les booze' as French President Emmanuel Macron downed a bottle of Corona in front of cheering rugby players at the weekend.
The 45-year-old tilted his head back and chugged the beer down in one in the Toulouse changing room following the team's dramatic 29-26 win over La Rochelle - a win that clinched the domestic league title.
As Macron slammed the empty bottle back on the counter, he was met with the resounding cheers from the Toulouse coaching staff and players following their victory in the French Top 14 final at the Stade de France on Saturday night.
Macron, who had watched the match from the VIP lounge, was then seen smiling broadly and shaking the rugby players' hands.
Afterwards, players and staff had agreed to take a 'vow of silence' over Macron's antics, reports Le Figaro. But the footage emerged on French TV channels before going viral on social media.
