Alcohol has been a cultural staple of the West for thousands of years. As many as six and a half years ago, wine was a large part of Greek culture and religion. Beer is probably equally as old, being brewed by royalty and peasants since the birth of European civilization. Monasteries were early producers and distributors of beer during the Dark Ages. By the eighth and ninth centuries, Muslim alchemists had produced distilled alcohols and “spirits” that became popular beverages. The American tradition of alcohol is centered on the bar, known in England and English-speaking countries as a public house, or pub. Descendants of the rowdy mead halls celebrated in Beowulf, bars are a focal point of social life and the various mating rituals of American adults.
