Tottenham and PSG fans have been left thirsty ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final after a wide-reaching booze ban in Udine.
Pubs and shops have been barred from selling wine or spirits by the city council - with fans and locals given the same severe treatment.
The only option they have been left with is beer - perhaps not a problem to most people, but still a restriction on their tastebuds.
Tottenham hope to upset PSG in the annual contest between the Europa League and Champions League winners in what will be Thomas Frank's first game.
An upset has already been caused in a different respect thanks to the alcohol prohibition, but one police officer told The Sun: 'These are the rules and it is beer only.
'Even the shops and supermarkets have not been allowed to sell alcohol to residents that live here.'
One pub attempted to distance itself from the unpopular decision, sticking up notes which read 'say thanks to the UEFA' and 'it's not our fault'.
Serving drinks with an alcohol content above five per cent is also banned.
A statement on the website of Udine's city council reads: 'The event is considered "extremely high risk" due to the expected large influx of fans.
'To prevent alcohol abuse and dangerous behavior, restrictive measures have been adopted regulating the sale, serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages, as well as the sale of beverages in glass containers and cans.'
Fans will not be allowed to consume beverages in public places beyond the relevant establishments, the Stadio Friuli, the ground's southern parking lot, and fan zones.
Even local motorway services have been slapped with the banning order in a bid to clamp down on people getting their hands on the 'contraband'.
Tottenham go into the game as underdogs after scraping into the tournament after beating Manchester United 1-0 in last season's Europa League final.
Meanwhile, PSG booked their place by thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final, before subsequently being runners-up to Chelsea in the Club World Cup.
Spurs will be without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, and Kota Takai, who are all injured.
Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie are also doubts.
Yves Bissouma has not travelled with the squad after being late for training too many times, manager Frank explained.
As for PSG, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been left out of their squad after they signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille, while midfielder Joao Neves is suspended.
