“2,000 years of binge drinking” OPEN THREAD

Goodness gracious. The Brits have quite a history of hoisting some brew! Hearty drinkers at BooTrib will love this sentence: “In the early days beer was primarily a food, rich in carbohydrates.”


This story has it all: the “Gin Epidemic” and “Mothers’ Ruin.” And I love this: In the 12th century, “[t]he adulteration of beer became a capital offence in Scotland.”
