According to my husband, a Londoner born just after the war, whiskey and tobacco were rationed definitely but he's not sure about beer.
Actually, I stand (or rather my husband stands) corrected. See this interesting website for details:

There is an extensive article on rationing.

No. beer was fairly freely available, as was tobacco. Whisky was rationed by price - it was even until the 70s or 80s an expensive drink with a short costing a lot more than beer. Not the case nowadays, though.

Coal rationing ended in July 1958.

No, as they were not essential, they were not rationed. They were very difficult to get your hands on though!
