I’d need a few brews before going out to hunt a saber-toothed tiger.

Whoring around was a lot easier when all it took was a club to the head.

the early humans didn't have any spare timeMy understanding from Archaeology class is that some did, and it can be determined how much free time they had by the quality of their artifacts and tools.

So people would rather drink beer than eat....right !!!
Momma might not be too impressed when farmer husband brought home the barley and oats to make beer and watch his family go hungry. .

people didn’t grow food for food?
They starved and drank beer instead?

Beer came when there was an EXCESS of grain. Beer is a way to not waste the grain and “preserve” it.

Seems like that is what I did from '64 to '78.

Or maybe our definitions of "spare time" differ. Oh well, it's not important to me...but if it is to you, then GO FOR IT.

It would take something a good deal stronger than beer to create the society in which we now live.

**Beer without nachos (or at least chips and dip) makes no sense whatsoever**
But they had to have a few beers on board before coming to that conclusion.
