"Missionaries working in post-contact Peru were appalled that during religious ceremonies the mummified bodies of Inca nobility were given cups of the corn beer to toast each other," Cartmell said.

Huh?

Does this mean that you can be whacked for DWI after you are in the ground?

According to Arthur Aufderheide, professor of pathology at University of Minnesota and author of "The Scientific Study of Mummies,"

Didn't he have a sister - I think her name was Alice, that's it, Alice Fermalderheide - she was at that same school, up there in Minnesota, in the same line of work, too.

Egyptians drank beer. They invented it. The made it in rooms next to where they made bread, and the yeast from one got into the other. It was a symbiotic process.

Archeologists took papyrus out of a stuffed cat. This "waste" paper was a notice complaining that drunen youths were drinking beer and then running around the town and making noise in the middle of the night when everyone was trying to sleep. This was about 5000 BC. I forget the date, but 1000s of years before Jesus.

Some things just don't change, and one of them is teenagers and beer.
