There's definitely wine, as wine appears in the scene in which Jorah Mormont saves Danyeryes Targaerean from Poisoned Wine. Wine is also present in the scene in which King Robert Baratheon drinks wine, as well as the famous "gently caress the water" scene.

Whiskey, the liquor most likely to appear in British-esque medieval high fantasy, doesn't seem present - really, no spirits do. Obviously they have beer/ale and wine but I don't think we've ever seen liquor.

And even then it was more likely to be a kind of clear aqua vitae kind of spirit, whiskey comes later even, though much earlier in Ireland than in Scotland.

Correct, most of the alcohol at the time period GoT emulates struggled to get above 5% alcohol by volume. Most of it was light enough that it would still hydrate you if you drank it.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Correct, most of the alcohol at the time period GoT emulates struggled to get above 5% alcohol by volume. Most of it was light enough that it would still hydrate you if you drank it. Even so, distilled spirits didn't really become truly common until the mid-19th century when further advances in distillation technique and technology made the process easy and cheap enough for common people to acquire it easily. The fact that this happened, that strong liquor became cheaper (or as cheap, but much cheaper if you look at the alcohol percentage) and more common-place than beer, cider and wine, is kind of the reason the temperance movement arose as people changed what they drank, but did not change their drinking habits, drinking 40-60% whiskey the same way they had had drunk 3-5% beer and cider. This led to quite a lot of social ills, particularly for working class families. Southern Europe meanwhile does not ever really seem to have moved away from wine.

Regy Rusty posted:You got rid of Kevan and you kept his dumb poo poo son what is this bullshit? Lancel at least did something, even if it was two seasons ago.
