Yes, they would have. The thing that always distracts me when I hear someone mention prohibition is, I hope bathtub gin wasn't really made in bathtubs, because ewwww, gross!
Oh, no, no, I'd rather have bathtub gin. I've always hated the taste of beer. Root beer is alright, though.
I don't like beer. I've never liked hockey too much. I dunno if I get to still be Canadian.
Except I like poutine and Tim Horton's coffee, so I guess my citizenship won't be revoked.
Drinking is weird when you think of it. I'm assuming a hangover is our body's way of saying "Ick, that's poison, I'm going to make you feel bad so you won't drink alcohol again." and yet most of us have been drunk more than once in our lifetimes. Yet if our ancestors had decided to eat, just say, a moldy tuna sandwich(if they would have had such things back then), and they became violently ill, they didn't decide "Great! I'm going to eat a moldy sandwich every Saturday night from now on." I guess because the moldy sandwich doesn't give you the drunk feeling first, I suppose. Which usually just breaks down our inhibitions and just makes us feel mildly happy(in my experience), so probably not really worth it in the long run.
By the time the hangover comes around, the "deserve to get drunk this weekend" usually turns into Never again, lol.
I plead the 5th on hangovers, my world says 1 will do me because I learned my lesson quickly.
Our poor ancestors lived with so much and makes one wonder, did they think afterwards?
Tasted pretty good going down but not so good when it came back up.
lol. Upchuck...
It makes you wonder about the first people who got drunk. I presume it must have been an accident. You have to wonder how, though. Was it some sort of grape stomping accident, which they then decided to drink somehow?
In Canada, there used to be a magazine for kids called Ranger Rick. My Nan got me a subscription because I really like animals(except snakes). I may be misremembering this, or confusing this with something else, but I distinctly remember an article about the things animals used to eat to get...well, I think it was get high, though it may have been drunk I'm not sure, lol.
No way....
I hear you on that. I've always had a weak stomach, though not as much as I used to in recent years. I'd be the only anteater in the forest with some sort of tiny refrigerator geared up, and some sort of paw washing station(Do anteaters live in the forest? I'm not sure.)
Yeah, they're so ugly they're sort of cute.
I had a varmint the other night of the bandit variety. I heard my composter open and looked out, and there was a raccoon trying to open it. I pointed and told it to "Get out of my composter!" so then it started running around my deck like a little doggie. I worry when my composter isn't very full(which it wasn't then) because sometimes they get stuck in them and can't get out.
That reminds me of the video, man walks to the dumpster to throw a bag of trash in, as soon as it lands inside a big black bear comes jumping out.
The lid was open of course. That day would have been a good day to wear diapers!
Yikes! Yes, it certainly would have been.
I keep forgetting the different things you're supposed to do when you encounter a bear, and have to keep looking it up again. Except I always remember not to attempt to climb a tree and if it's a polar bear it's pretty much game over.
