Clear the path We mustn't linger a moment more than necessary, lest we exhaust the laudanum supply.

We're getting to the point in history where basically anyone with a farm and a grain surplus can and will distill it all into very potent alcohol. This plus no quality control or licensing means supply is high and prices are low. Combine that fact with plenty of misery and you'll get why everyone in America at this time was pretty much constantly drunk.

chitoryu12 posted:Though it's important to note that whiskey is only "cheap" because we're pretty rich right now. The average wage of a farmhand in 1850 with room and board provided was $7 to $15 a month (or a gigantic $60 a month in California), so we're carrying around more money than an average American would see in 5 or 6 years. True, that was a major reason for the gold rush. You had the potential to make decades of wages in a couple weeks of work. To add some more numbers to the conversation, in 1850 the per capita consumption of alcohol in the US was about 8 liters of ethanol. Almost all of that was spirits of some kind. We're at similar levels now, but a lot more of it comes from beer https://ourworldindata.org/alcohol-consumption paragon1 fucked around with this message at 21:11 on May 24, 2019 |

I've never really understood how the going down hills stuff was resolved. Also the penalty for your wagon tipping while ascending and descending doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. You lose a bunch of stuff, which makes sense with rivers because it could all be ruined by moisture or get swept down stream or fall out of sight. But with a mountain trail shouldn't you be able to just like, pick it all up? Ropes and chains I guess.

Anything that leaves the wagon is lost to us forever. And it would be wrong to subject even the degenerates of Northern California to naked goons.
