He added that Etruscan women are also expert drinkers and are very good looking.
...wondering if Theopompos had his "4th Century BC Beer Goggles" on?
I don't know about Theopompos, but Pytheas did, and he lived around the same time. Ever hear about his exploration of northern Europe? When he sailed along the coast of Great Britain, Pytheas dropped anchor every time he saw a new tribe, and went ashore to meet them. Afterwards he reported that his two most important discoveries were the beverages from there: beer and mead. You know what you would call it if went to Britain and made a trip like that today? A pub crawl!
