You usually diluted the beer as well, to something called small ale/beer for every day drinking, and save the stronger stuff for special occasions. It usually ranged between 0.5% to around 3%.

[@donm5354]

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.

[@bertolwong9109]

You have no idea how happy I am the challenges are back, this is my favourite series. Thank you so much

[@zachcrawford5]

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.

[@JustAnotherNerd95]

No.

[@markrhodes403]

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

6:20 I expected that misconception to come up. No. People drank water. Most of the time it's fine. In fact, the only times you hear about it are the exceptional times when it's not fine. Like during cholera outbreaks. " 'And oh,' the historian wrote, 'He had a regular drink of water from the well. This was noteworthy.' "

[@TheMormonPower]

I drank from a "Pure Mountain Spring" once, and got the worst stomach infection you could imagine, for like a week. I wouldn't recommend it.

[@SangoProductions213]

Natural water is inherently more risky, and thus requires better knowledge of what to avoid, than modern purified water. Doesn't mean that all natural water is risky. Doesn't mean that people didn't drink water.

[@kimberleysmith818]

No they didn’t. Most of the time small beer was the drink of the day. Numerous famous and well respected historians talk about this.

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

[@smokinwithredbeard]

Lol this video makes me realize I very likely might eat a highly midevil diet... It's mostly beer... And meat... Followed by more beer, although I gotta incorporate some water fowl and wine into there... I can't do intestines though smh

Here's a new challenge idea: What if you had to eat nothing but canned goods for a month? I think it would be very educational to see what it would do to the body, both mentally and physically.

[@markredacted8547]

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 🤷‍♂

Aha so that’s where the idea (…) cure a hangover by drinking more🤔🤷‍♂️ 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🤤)👍 (To the host (if they see this)) You could have used alcohol free beer’s & wine’s so you wouldn’t have been hammered all the time, but still get the experience🤗👍

The beer they would drink would be an ale with no hops. Very low alcohol content. Also, the wine would be a raw wine.

[@desiferber4329]

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!

You forget that the people back in the day were mostly farmers or crafters and worked 60-80 hours in the week doing heavy work. They were pretty fit because they were peasants.
