Wash it down with a little whiskey, some beer or cider, and a few glasses of alcoholic punch.

That's a pretty respectable amount for a young man, much less guys pushing 60 like Washington et co. Though, to be fair, considering the First Horse of Philadelphia served as Washington's bodyguard during the war, at least some of them were probably still young. Late 20s, at least.
