What impact did beer have on ancient societies?

Question

I find the history of beer to be one of the most intriguing topics. Can someone elaborate on the significance of beer in ancient cultures?

Answer 1

Going through one of the toughest times in my life right now. It’s so hard to shut my mind off and just sleep, but content like this really help quiet the noise. If you’re reading this and struggling too, I truly hope better days find you soon.

pretty sure he meant the insomnia is BECAUSE he's having a really hard time (due to something he does not reveal) - not that the hard time is the insomnia.

Answer 3

Family Doctor here signed up for my Residency, worrying about working 24 hour shifts for very little, overrun and understaffed emergency wards, doing things wrong and not being able to cope with the stress. But I am thankful to hear your soothing voice speaking eloquently of things I am curious about, how people lived in other times; it's just right, a quietly thoughtful commentary still exciting enough that my mind doesn't wander off into the usual brain grinding mush of self doubt and existential dread. You, sir, are a treasured peace-bringer. May your nights be restful and your days be bountiful!

You put my sentiments out there so eloquently. Thank you ❤️

It’s heartbreaking that in a country as developed as Spain, young doctors are still exploited like overworked interns while administrators collect salaries for managing a broken system. No amount of poetic escapism or narrators should be a substitute for real healthcare reform. Romanticizing resilience only helps maintain the abuse.
