This forced everyone -- from commoners to royalty -- to hydrate by way of beer. Except that they didn't. The idea that people primarily drank beer throughout the Middle Ages is widespread -- and also wrong. A number of records from medieval times report that water was plentiful and common. One account by Gallo-Roman historian Saint Gregory of Tours mentions a boy so religious that he primarily drank water, (like many devout at the time). Gregory also mentions a traveler in the sixth century who asked a villager for water. In another story, there were telltale marks where a hermit had knelt to drink from a river. Sometimes water was mixed with wine or sweeteners like honey, and a 14th century monk once listed water as a beverage preferred over beer. Water, it seems, was on everyone's lips https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_alcoholic_drinks#Early_modern_period It is important to note that modern beer is much stronger than the beers of the past. While current beers are 3-5% alcohol, the beer drunk in the historical past was generally 1% or so.[citation needed] This was known as 'small beer' and was drunk instead of water which, unboiled, was prone to carrying disease.[citation needed] also the type of alchohol you are claiming they drank that has low to no sugar actually dehydrates you which makes your claim REALLY suspect now https://academic.oup.com/alcalc/article/45/4/366/155478/Hydration-Status-and-the-Diuretic-Action-of-a https://gastrolyte.com.au/dehydration/dehydration-and-alcohol/ alcoholmastery.com/does-beer-hydrate-or-dehydrate-the-body/ but see, I won't call you a knob I will just educate you because I am a nice guy so, hmm, instead of drinking water they drink something that makes them LOSE hydration, and that is how they...in absence of water...stayed hydrated? that seems very very illogical friend --- sigless user is me or am I? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:887811133] in would a ba...

Grain alcohol (which is what they were drinking) had pretty much no sugar in it. Also the reason we are getting fatter is because people are becoming less and less active, not because we're eating more. Ethanol is 7 Calories per gram. A "standard drink" has about 100 Calories from ethanol alone. Your point? --- Yeet <cite>MB2012 posted [p:887814986] in would a ba...

You physically cannot become addicted to guns so I don't think we'd have nearly as big of a problem as we did with prohibition I think some people are indeed addicted to guns Well, i would bet there is more people who drinks alcohol than owns guns and likes them to the point they would break a law to acquire one and risk of going to prison for it. There would still be less guns, even if some would refuse to get one illegally. --- Can't think any good sig <cite>Sami1000 posted [p:887815386] in would a ba...
