There was a documentary on The History channel called "How Beer saved The World". It, laid out arguments (semi-convincing) that beer was responsible for:Modern cities and farming, as the Egyptians needed it to collect wheat, etc. to make beer.Math. Egyptians paid pyramid workers in beer and needed a way to track it. Thus, the birth of math and accounting.Re-fridgeration. Beer companies spent massive amounts on R&D to develop it instead of bringing in huge glaciers from canada by train.Louie Pastour was actually studying why beer went bad when he stumbled onto pastuerization.Ending child labor. Beer companies actually modernized the "ford assembly line" 10 years before Ford, virtually wiping out cruel but necessary use of children in their archaic glass blowing shops.American revolution. Compared pubs to the internet today asused to distribute information/ideas. British agents were instructed to eavesdrop in pubs or to go sip, and thus the origin of the word gossip. The melody of the Star Spangled banner is identical to that of a drinking song pubs would make people sing to prove they were sober enough for another.There were also some things about beer being safer to drink than water, and I think some link to penacillin. There were several more, but I can't remember all of them.Fascinating stuff.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" - Benjamin Franklin.
Well, he didn't really say that but It still sounds cool.

Reminds me of an old joke.Why did God invent beer? To prevent the Irish from taking over the Earth."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
