Booze... does have it the same sort of impact as "language"?

We all know how powerful "language" is to a culture... but, I hadn't thought about the impact of "booze" has in our society.

Its interesting that "for good or bad" booze has such an impact to... heck...humanity itself.

Fun fact...

The Irish workers who dug out the Erie Canal with nothing more that pickax and shovels...

Were paid 50 cent /per day plus room and board... AND 32 ounces of Wiskey every day!

Can anyone drink 32 fething ounces of whiskey? That's like two average sized water bottles!
