[Stones] bronze age ale

[jtg]

Sorry Ric,

My point was that unless you were a bronze age OCD person, you would only
bother to pick out known dangerous plants specifically, some of the lesser
problematicals or non-do. : ah what the hell!

Best I can see is if it made alcohol and you could see straight after a few
days, well there MUST be GOOD herbs in it!

BTW, doesn't chewing Betel make your MOUTH go red?

could be - i think many different sorts of plants have
been used to flavour beer - including mugwort?

i wonder if beer was the only fermented beverage or
special drink in the British Isles, at this time,
though?

in India there is a sacred drink called 'bhang': i
spoke to someone who drank it once, in India, he said:
"it makes your eyes go red" ...

like drugs in general, it can also be dangerous to
partake of this beverage: marijuana is not a legal
substance in India, just like over here
