The Latest Wonder Drug? Beer.

A beer a day keeps the winter colds away!  At least that is what the Schlitz Brewing Company would have you believe in this 1936 ad posted on Modern Mechanix.  These guys had today's energy drinks beat by over half a century.
Schlitz, with Sunshine Vitamin D *, gives you the sunny source of health you need the whole year around. Beer is good for you— but Schlitz, with Sunshine Vitamin D, is extra good for you. It has all the old-time Schlitz Flavor and Bouquet brewed to mellow ripe perfection under Precise Enzyme Control, with new health benefits . . . and at no increase in price.
