What did Henry VIII drink?

Henry VIII of England drank red wine and beer, without hops. Water was seen as unhealthy because it was not safe to drink. He forbade the use of hops in his beer as he thought it was dangerous as well, but still drank around 70 pints a week of it. His red wine was sweetened with sugar. Both the ale and wine of the time had much lower alcohol content than they do today.
