So stuff that makes you shitfaced and behave like a total idiot is good for civilization? Who woulda thunk it?  Makes perfect sense. Imagine trying to sell civilzation to a bunch of sober people. "So lemme get this straight: I'm going to build myself a one room mud hut and work from sunup to sundown, knee deep in shite, growing food around the hut for you and your goons. I'm gonna do this on account of Almighty God sayin' this land is yours, and 'cause your goons are gonna fight on "our side" when the other bugger sends his people to attack us all and take the food we're growing for you. I'll still be on the hook for fighting, and the goons get the best of the equipment and get to hang in the back until after we've run in and had a few swings. And if you and the other bugger don't get on well, you might just send us off to attack all his people and take the food they're growin' for him and . . . hand it over to you?" |

Actually Carl Sagan argues that growing cannabis might have lead to agriculture in one of his books. It´s a bit of a tangent though.

Take it with a pinch of salt. The Mail said beer caused cancer last week, said beer cured cancer the week before that, aided weight loss the week before THAT and said it was a superfood the week before THAT. Not arguing that last one though  |

Not arguing that last one though One of my friend's back in college tried the Guinness weightloss plan...it didn't work...probably because he drank more Guinness than was recommended. I only had one last night. I couldn't believe it. Maybe I am actually growing up. |

It almost worked for the American Indian...sit around a camp fire, passing the 'peace' pipe to the white man ambassador..."Thanks for the beads, here, try this..." |

Out of being gentleman, I shall not get historical with you and horribly correct you. However I shall suggest an alternative that is perhaps more awesome and very accurate. The Scythian burial ritual consisted of bon fires of that lovely plant which to the best of my historical knowledge was not used in the pre-Columbian Americas. |

I couldn't believe it. Maybe I am actually growing up. What's this, now? Guinness weightloss plan? *runs off to Google* If I remember correctly it works on the principle that beer can replace bread and also has a side effect usually occurring the morning after consumption if you catch what I mean. Supposedly it gets your metabolism going. I forget how many and how often you are supposed to drink. In principle I remember that it worked. |

What about the liquid alcoholic bread served up to the builders of the pyramids 1 litre (1 quart) soy milk, plain
360ml (12 oz) stout such as Guinness, or other dark, full bodied beer
64g (1/2 cup) wheat germ
112g (1/2 cup) brewers yeast
180ml (6 oz) grain alcohol
or vodka to taste
Mix the soy milk, stout beer, wheat germ and brewers yeast in a 2 litre/quart pitcher, stirring well. Chill before serving. Now, either add the grain alcohol to the whole batch to achieve the 15% alcohol or mix the "milk" with vodka to taste. Serve in rustic pottery mugs.You may now sing "Hero of Canton" and confidently wear a hat like this... |
