Every tiny Medieval village contained several makers of ale. The ale had little nutritional value, but it cantained precious calories in a population on the edge of starvation.
Empty calories. Protein was out the question. They were always starved for protein.
If they had consumed the yeast which wa a natural product of the quarts of ale they drank daily, all of which is pure protein, not to mantion Vitamin D, they might have been very healthy indeed.
Then again if the distilled alcohol poured down a wounded person’s throat to help ease the pain of wounds had been used on the wounds …
But the people only listened to Intellectuals and Priests.
What they got, they EARNED.

It is all a matter of resourcefulness, and proof that our coloreds have little lies in their support of politicians who promise to raise taxes on energy and who think that without fancy credentials or a public employee union card you don’t have a right to exist above the level of a slave.
It’s a real head-scratcher the way these coloreds (and the anti-white whites) behave.
But we know the explanation for Zimbabwe and Cuba anyway.

I don’t know. I suppose it might have been used for hog slop? My Grandmother used to make a concoction called “tiger’s milk.” It contained milk, brewer’s yeast, blackstrap molasis, some kind of juice. Don’t ever try feeding that stuff to a child no matter how good it is for you.

When you think of it, everything takes at least a little courage. If some alcohol got on a wound and increased the pain, but then it got better, the courage to repeat that was there somewhere. There is still plenty of courage among whites, but it doesn’t rule. And that’s really wrong.

Before the Renaissance, our bararric ancestors used to routinely soak wounds with wine.

Our early ancestors were more concerned with caloric intake than having a balanced diet. That is why various grains were converted into fermented drinks.
Fermentation preserved both the caloric value of the food source plus made that source more easily transportable and exchangeable on various markets.
Fermentation improved shelf life also.
In the colonial U.S. there was the corn economy.
Corn liquor was an important commodity amongst the colonists. Corn itself was difficult to transport and subject to both rot and rodent infestation.
Corn liquor had no such limitations.
These actions were less the result of the influence of intellectuals and priests then the simple results of a practical and pragmatic people
trying to survive.
Remember, priests and intellectuals can only survive in a system that can produce surplus commodities. After all, They produce nothing but bullshit while consuming the hard earned commodities of the people they wish to parasitize.
Intellectuals and priests deal in abstractions.
Are your mother and father abstractions?
Sisters and brothers?
Grandparents?
Nieces and nephews?
Various cousins?
Sons and Daughters?
Husbands and Wives?
Friends and Acquaintances?
Please think about this.

Science answers one question, and moves on. It might generate new questions, but it creates knowledge and moves on.
Intellectuals and priests cannot move on. Their existence depends on the existence of the question, whether its the ‘racism question’, the ‘white question’ or the nature of god.
