Coal, steel mills, construction, laundries, mills, fishing...all powered by beer.

When I was in Spain (just a vacation, alas), the only people who got up early were the manual laborers and all the cafes had breakfast specials of chorizo and cerveza. I was up early too because I don't believe in wasting vacation time on sleep.

Even longer ago, when I lived in Minnesota, I remember a news report of union negotiations in a Wisconsin brewery - the brewery wanted to remove the benefit of beer in the breakroom, offering 12-packs to take home instead. The union found this unacceptable. I don't remember the resolution.

My personal rule is, no edged power tools.

Kickback on a 12 inch chop saw is the worst.
