Perhaps because a lot of real mules

. . . have a decided attitude?

. . . they kick and talk back and balk quite freely . . . usually when least expected and when least needed.

But some are wonderful and a treasure to own and be around.

No.

Not stocked with beer.

Beer would slow their reaction times; dull their senses; slow their thinking; and cause their thinking to reach conclusions with many more flaws.

Those doubting . . .

Get Mavis Beacon or similar typing tutor tests. Take the test sober.

Drink a can of beer.

Take same test.

Drink another can of beer.

Take same test.

etc. through a six pack—if that’s one’s usual amount . . .

Check the progression of the error rate.

Then tell the character in the mirror that he ain’t drunk—he can hold his alcohol quite well (which, actually, is a symptom of alcoholism—not a good symptom at all).

Given telemetry . . . in real field situations, the operators would need every microsecond advantage of full rested alertness 24/7. They’d best be spelled off every 30 minutes to hour or so.
