Sumerian Sauce

[Kriegsspiel]

For the Sumerians, Akkadians and Babylonians, the ancient inhabitants of modern-day Iraq, beer was a daily staple and an essential component of social life. It was a beloved beverage, celebrated in poetry and song.

But it was also recognized as a potent force whose consumption could prove risky. In Mesopotamian literature, drinking beer could lead to confusion, loss of control and poor judgment.

Beer was also known to produce unwanted physical effects, like a certain less-than-stellar feeling the morning after or an inability to perform sexually. Still, Mesopotamians continued to drink their beer with enjoyment and gusto. A common scene in the artistic record depicts a man and woman having sex, while the woman drinks beer.

I have brewed, Gruit.
Not like today's thin beers.
Gruit uses Herbs/Flowers instead of Hops.
It's what for Supper Beer.

If they acted like that on beer - I would hate to see the city on Tequila

I was hoping this was the name of your new portfolio.
This was at least as much fun, though.

Who knew the Sumerians invented the keg stand?
