All right then, a non-sugar drink that has plenty of nutrition and is carbonated and that the kiddies will love. Colonial American kids sure did. Beer, of course.

Nobody listens to me.

Isn’t it amazing to imagine the whole colonial population running around running around buzzed starting at 7am back then? When did it end, and why?

Of course, Colonial American kids could drink beer back then, because there was not as much alcohol in it. Brewers back then brewed what we would call “near-beer.”, unlike today, when it’s common to have 7% or higher ABV in a good beer or ale.
