I've often read that in Europe in the 1500s people "didn't drink water everyone drank beer and wine"
... How did that work? I assume that there were beers without too much alcohol available? What about kids? pregnant women?
Was everyone just lightly drunk all the time? If I have a light beer I feel bad for two days. I understand the whole issue of all the rivers being fowled and cholera... but... how on earth did this work?
No juice or boiled water for pregnant women?
