[Bellflower]

It was my understanding that it was wine that you were suppose to give to the sad of heart. Not beer.

Correct, beer to the sad, strong drink to the dying.

Pro 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

A blast from the past!

I had to re-read the thread to find out what I had said.

Wine for some reason was the drink of choice. Maybe because fruit crops failed less often the grain crops.
