Beer can be dangerous
For your liver, apparently. But the brewing process is also dangerous because of the possibility of explosion bottles, as home brewers know today. Sometimes, however, you get it at the destruction of an even larger scale. In London, the brewery in 1814 and VAT, which contains more than 100 thousand liters exploded, sending the beer ran out through the poor neighborhoods. Were demolished two houses and a pub, killing nine people in the process. However, one of those people only himself to blame. One man allowed himself too much and died of alcohol poisoning the next day.
People can do anything for beer
Seriously, they will be. During Prohibition in America, people took to drinking hair tonic and posing as members of the clergy to get alcohol. Sometimes people come together on a large scale in the endless quest for free beer. In Australia, on Easter weekend in 2001, the beer truck tire exploded and overturned into a river. The driver was able to escape, but his burden down on the river bottom. Upon learning of the accident, people gathered at the scene, some in full gear underwater, and spent the weekend restoring the beer. One man managed to get 400 bottles. Do they return it to the company? Of course not. Despite warnings from police that they did was stealing, divers removed from the lot.
Religious Beer
The few beer producers who weren’t women tended to be monks. Monasteries have a rich history of brewing, to refresh weary travelers, and sell to earn money to start a monastery. Today, some still active breweries, especially Trappist monks in Belgium and Netherlands. Trappists make the beer to be fully self-contained, allowing them to manage their monasteries for the money they make from the brewery and that alone. So, oddly enough, while some look to religion or even prohibit the use of alcohol and other brew making as a tenant of his doctrine. The most famous monk beer produced today, probably, Chimay.
Beer is Medicine
It was often used as a medicine in medieval times. But those people have used anything as a medicine whether it worked or not, is not it? Modern humans were not so stupid. Or do they? Soon after the start of the government’s ban ruled that doctors could issue a beer for medicinal purposes (sound familiar?). This prompted members of the temperance movement of rage, that they finally won their long fight to ban alcoholic beverages and people will still be able to get it because of loopholes in the 18th Amendment. Doctors’ offices will become the new vice-dens, which prohibits most recently? The debate erupted in Congress and the American Medical Association about the importance of medicinal beer. In the end, temperance movement won again, leading to an increase in speakeasies and organized crime.
Drinking Ages
The age at which you are allowed to buy alcohol, surprisingly little change from country to country, generally falling between 16 and 21. However, parts of India, drinking age of 25, the latest in the world. Many Muslim countries ban it consumption in general, while very few countries allow anyone of any age to buy beer. Age in which you are allowed to buy alcoholic beverages, often different from what you can legally drink. For example, in UK, you must be 18 to purchase it, but it is legal for you to drink it in a private home under adult supervision at the age of 5.
