Interesting views... Does this mean that the more beer you drink, the more civilized you are?

[pledm]

Just found it interesting about why they were growing the grain/barley/etc and how beer has been used since the stone/dark ages for many reasons including water quality/sanition purposes.

Yes I found that interesting too.
