A friend of mine has a theory about beer and wine being the true linchpins of civilization. He says that once humans learned how to ferment and drink alcoholic beverages, it influenced everything from agriculture, to law, to economics, to religion and morals.

Not to mention that it allowed ugly women to reproduce. We frequently see the results today.

LOL!

I believe it was Bobby Bare who said,

I've never been to bed with an ugly woman
But I've
woken up with quite a few!

Hummm. The German's drank beer, the French drank red wine. Certainly explains the early outcome of WWII.

This guy may be on to something. Never underestimate the power of Pabst's, Stroh's and Rolling Rock. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Certainly explains how the war ended the way it did.
