If I read this article correctly, the gin craze that paralyzed Britain in the 1740's bypassed Scotland. The Scots were drinking other things for other reasons.

Reminds me of a joke, the punchline to which is:
"I'm not sure where ya' been laddy, but I see ya' won first-prize!"

The resulting ale tasted unpleasant, but clearly those who drank it originally were not put off...
I guess it tasted better than this swill.

COBOL to Java, huh. LOL. Just a straight substitution of code, right?

So the "caveman makes beer" story goes something like:
The caveman knows how to make bread using wild cereals. During this simple bread-making process the skies open up and it rains really hard. Realizing that the bread is ruined and would not satisfy his hunger, he leaves the soppy mixture in his cave and heads out to hunt mammoths.
The next day he returns, unsuccessful in his hunting trip and examines the ruined bread. He's very hungry at this point but decides another day of hunting would be better than eating the now disgusting mish-mash of sloppy cereals that was once his bread.
At some point the unsuccessful hunter is overcome by his hunger and succumbs to the bread, which is now a lumpy foul-smelling liquid.
It must have tasted terrible, but the caveman would have immediately recognized the wonderful buzz after his very first beer.
Thats the story, at least as it was told to me.

Does Ala still have that silly law where the beer caps have to have Ala printed on them? I moved away from there about 10 years ago so I'm not sure if it's still in effect. I remember when it passed...the choice in beer dropped by at least half overnight. Fortunately, I moved to Maine where there are oodles of microbreweries. Of course the taxes
suc@, but hey... The Cave Creek Chili is interesting because every drink you take burns so you instinctively take another. The beer is finished in no time flat.
Cheers,
P.

Laudanum, a tincture of alcohol and opium, was widely available as a cure-all in a population which almost never consulted a qualified medical practitioner.
If they would have consulted a qulaified medical practioner, they would either have been dispensed laudanum or the cure for laudanum addiction at the time, morphine.
