The holiday season might be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also undeniably one of the busiest. Between dashing from store to store to scoop up gifts to attending party after party, the hustle and bustle is enough to throw anyone into a tizzy — and some things are bound to slip through the cracks. But what should you do if remembering to stock up on alcohol ahead of the big day is one of those things? Will liquor stores even be open on Dec. 25? The short answer is: maybe!
The reason drunkenness was so prevalent back then is because brewing alcohol was the easiest and most accessible way to turn water into something that wouldn’t kill you
A lot of people (very much including me) forget that not long ago, there was no electricity for easy refrigeration. I’m middle-age, but that’s such a crazy concept for me. How do you take a boat journey for weeks, months(?!?!) and survive? Everything would go bad in the ocean heat and blasting sun so quickly! Insanity.

Obviously they’d bring twinkies and canned food
TIL boiling water was harder than fermenting spoiled fruits
