> alcohol content watered down i didn't say anything about alcohol content. my post was about herbal adulterants, which in ym understanding were widespread to the point of being near universal in the ancient world to the extent that wine was mostly a delivery medium for these adulterants. i know what you wrote is the normietard "durrrr everyone drank beer all day in the middle ages" take. i am proposing that that is wrong. i watched a presentation on it a while back from a guy who knew a lot more about it from primary sources than either you or i know, and what i've written is basically his take.
