Does his work involve operating large machinery?

Depends on how dangerous the environment is. If he is driving heavy equipment around me I'm ratting his arse out instantly. If he's mindlessly filling out an excel spreadsheet you could probably let it go.

If he's boozing in the parking lot he is going to get let go sooner or later.

Office enviornment. Pretty sure it was Bud Light. He was only a couple cars down and was pretty obvious about it since he never saw me.

A guy that used to work for me set his alarm for 430am so he could drink a couple hours before work (true story). He told me he drank Jack to ease his tremors and make him feel normal. When you're that deep in, you drink to feel normal not to get drunk. Lunchtime he would buy 3 bud longnecks at bar down the street that had $1 beers. He said $3 plus a $1 tip is cheaper than mcdonalds meal and the beer fills him up. After work, daiquiri shop near his house for $2 mixed drinks.

Guy is dead now, no surprise. Sad.

I don't want to live in a world where a drink at lunch is unacceptable

I'd say as long as his drinking doesn't put anyone at any direct physical risk, then you should mind your business. Now if he's operating heavy machinery or something like that, I'd confront him.

Does he do anything that puts other people's lives in danger? I am not a snitch so I wouldn't say anything.

Ever been around an alcoholic? Some of them, if they don't have a drink for a certain period of time, they will get shaky.. Agitated.. Maybe he needs to knock back a few to knock off the edge.

Are you 100% sure it was a beer?

Could it have been a soft drink or energy drink?

Does this dude do anything like operate machinery that would put others at risk?

Tell him to switch to hard liquor. It helps get you there faster. With the limited time you have for a lunch break, this is important.
