    Alcohol content of Beer and Wine in the "olden days" was alot lower than it is now - especially in the biblical era. Main reason people drank alot of wine/beer was there were no water treatment plants and water hundreds of years ago- so water was full of nasty microbes - there were also no sewage treatment plants either.. so water contamination of towns and cities was a huge problem.

    Another point for drinking in the middle ages is there alcohol was probably less filtered so if you drank a beer it probably still had actual bits of barley and hops floating around in it, and it was probably more like guinness than like budweiser. The same is probably true for most wine. Also, though I'm sure there was plenty of fire water available, beers and wines had a bit less alcohol than what is typical today (some just had less, other were diluted somewhat) and many had more various herbs infused into them.

      You aren't wrong in that distilled liquors are actually more modern than most people would think. It takes a fair amount of fine machining to make a still capable of producing strong liquors. Take this with a grain of salt as I can't recall the source but I remember reading somewhere that general rates of alcoholism got much worse after liquor became more widely available

    Maybe do a medieval peasant video too. Their diet was different because they usually didn’t have access to as much meat. Some villages did. Also you were right about the alcohol being like Gatorade. It was made different than ours. Small beer was more common and only like 2%. There were beers that could get you hammered but they drank that later in the day

    Speaking of playing sports wasted, my father was in a rugby union club in Australia, and all the teams had to abide by the rule, if you substitute out you need to skull a beer before you can go back in, commit a penalty I think you had to have a shot of scotch whisky. Essentially the game starts normal enough but turns entertaining by the second half, and no one cares who wins cause everyone just drinks together afterwards. I never once seen a single fight or disagreement, maybe alcohol makes sports more entertaining and friendly 🤷‍♂

    When eating innards (intestines & such) you kinda need to marinate it for at least 12h before to make sure they’re not as rubbery, & brain is pretty much tasteless so I would recommend using a Mediterranean recipe (they honestly know what they’re doing with food🤤)👍

    @desiferber4329 Год назад

    Our ancestors actually weren’t as hammered as you’d think- they drank a lot of wine and beer, but the alcohol content of the daily drinks was much lower than modern beers and wines! They really only drank beers and wines that are modern-proof level were those drunk on special occasions, or if you were very wealthy. And most people DID drink water, if the quality was good enough. So more so in the countryside than in cities, I would bet. And they did water down their beer and wine often. So they were likely often lightly buzzed, but not to the extent that doing this diet with modern beer would make someone!
