Beer Saved the World
"According to the Discovery Channels hour-long documentary called “How Beer Saved the World,” beer was responsible for the birth and development of human civilization, and is the “greatest invention of all.” It outlines how the agriculture revolution was started because of the need to make beer, which led to many inventions such as the plow, the wheel, and irrigation. Cities were built in an effort to produce more beer for the growing number of people who craved it. Other lesser known inventions were math, which needed to be mastered by farmers as their fields grew and needed to be quantified, as well as written language, which was vital to keep records of the expanding beer trade. The documentary goes on to demonstrate that every invention, innovation, and milestone of human history was, at the core, because of the human love for beer."

Belch!
I'm not at all surprised, and not just because I am drinking one as I type this (a wonderful winter beer from a local brewery).
Beer also fueled much of the great literature produced by our culture, particularly from England and Ireland where the natives drink it like it's going to be taken away from them at any moment.
I like those microbrewery products or draft if I HAVE to drink beer. I am a vodka guy. No hangovers from those potatoes.
This puts all the pyramids and other nonsense to shame...
They just kept building in Egypt until the beer ran out.
