Did beer or wine come first? I've read that beer came first, but I have my doubts since it is more complicated to make beer. To make beer, the grains must be malted before they can be fermented. To make wine, all you have to do is crush some fruit.

Oh, the irony. What helped get civilization rolling has been one of the things holding it back.

Not in the least. It may hold back an individual but it lubricates the mind and many a social situation which is a benefit to society.

Sure it does, Lew. Sure it does.

Anyway, I was referring more to the money that is wasted in our society.

I'm drinking beer now. I swear if I didn't have it, I wouldn't be doing anything more productive.
