They had a show on brewing beer on the History Channel last night. Apparently women did most of the brewing in a lot of places in ancient times since it was considered to be like cooking. It wasn't a high honor it was a chore.

There's a lot of equality in terms of how men and women drink in the highlands of Andes

You've come a long way, baby! To get where you've got to today! You've got your own liver failure, baby, you've come a long, long, way!

In England brewing Ale was under the supevision of women, during the middle ages, it tasted like bread, now it is under the supervision of men it tastes like Ale.
