Quote from Wikipedia "Beer is one of the oldest human-produced drinks. The first chemically confirmed barley-beer – from the area of Mesopotamia, part of modern-day Iraq – dates back to the 5th millennium BCE". How come we cannot live without beer?

in THOSE days it was safer than water wasn't it? The alcohol served to kill microbes that would just sit and multiply in fresh water? There was maybe also a spiritual/religious component to the magic mind-altering water, also maybe just fun?
