Jordan Spieth was so close to winning the third leg of golf's Grand Slam, but his birdie attempt on the final hole of the British Open didn't fall.

So how did Spieth recover from such a heartbreaking loss?

By guzzling down "some adult beverages," according to Zach Johnson's caddie, from the Claret Jug, of course. Johnson, who won the Jug in a playoff, is looking on as Spieth enjoys the sweet taste of victory despite losing.

Johnson and Spieth are close friends so it's not all that surprising for Johnson to give Spieth a swig from the Claret Jug. But is it becoming of a golfer -- especially one of Spieth's stature -- to drink from the Jug despite not winning it?
