 I like how this anti suffragette cartoon makes being a suffragette seem extremely cool

I feel like we don't get perspective about how loving drunk men were like 24/7 in America. Like, it made just banning the stuff seems almost rational.

The woman in the cartoon represents a real suffragette named Edith Margaret Garrud; she and her husband were among the first jiu-jitsu practitioners in Britain and they taught self-defence classes and acted as bodyguards for members of the vote for women movement.

I remember Dan Carlin did a Hardcore History episode called History Under the Influence where he spent about an hour and a half ruminating on how many of history's great men were alcoholics (or drug addicts). Like, think about how many major, world-altering decisions were made and overseen by people totally out of their gourd on something or other.

Basically everyone was constantly drunk and/or high in the olden days. Booze was safer than water

And there's a really popular thread to say that temperance was only bad and had no good effects and was 100% negative, but actually people did start drinking less, and drink considerably less to this day.

Wasn't the point to have the yeast kill off all the other nasty microbes that'd be waiting in there to make you sick, or at least have it deplete the sugars that the nasties would live off of while waiting to kill your thirsty rear end? So in effect, funny water safer than boring water.

Well, to make beer, you end up boiling the whole thing for at least an hour, and then sealing it off an keeping it sanitary until it's done fermenting. So, effectively, they were boiling away microbes without realizing what they were doing.

Also I hear that's the right way to make proper cider, like 1) put the ingredient in a bucket. Like that's it. There is literally just one ingredient and that's apples. No sissy water, no yeast, apart from the gunk that lives naturally on apples. Or I have been gulled into making something indefensible in my basement.

Phanatic posted:Popular myth, but also completely inaccurate. People stil had water in the countryside, but in larger cities fresh water was hard to come by. I know a lot about Dutch history, and in The Low Countries there was tons of water in the canals, but they all essentially functioned as a giant open-air sewer, so small beer was the norm in the 17th century. This is also a later period than these articles address, when larger cities developed and the spread of urbanization made this a larger problem. Nowadays the water in Amsterdam's canals is changed daily when they open the water locks at night, but in that time it was more like once a week, and you can imagine how undrinkable the rivers of sewage would be after a week in the summer heat. There are no springs in this swampy land, so it's either beer, sewage, or rainwater. Luckily it rains here often, so there was at least some water to drink, if you don't mind mind drinking rainwater collected in a moldy barrel in the middle of a city where the air is filled with soot.  So if anything the myth is that this is a medieval phenomenon, when it was actually an early modern one. These people are looking at the wrong period for their mythbusting evidence. Edit: don't forget that smoking a pipe is good for you because the dry hot air counteracts the dampness of your body in the winter and helps balance the humors twoday has a new favorite as of 22:46 on Sep 16, 2017 |

Or I have been gulled into making something indefensible in my basement. You just need your chosen yeast to outcompete the other microbes. Boiling beer is about chemical changes in the hops getting bittering acids and sugars changes. It actually makes it more dangerous to the wrong microbes because it's a blank slate not already at a natural equilibrium like a farm cider. Cider especially is just drop in yeast and walk away.

Traditionally you used windfall fruit that would have had naturally occurring yeasts. But the traditional method also runs the risks of e coli. The rates of failure were probably pretty high, just like with old timey canning.

Per capita alcohol consumption in the US was 3x higher in the 1830's compared to today, that's accounting for the difference in alcohol concentrations too. Even if the dangerous water part is a myth, 19th century living was very boozy. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31741615
