Its due to the black plauge. the water supplies got infected, and the bacteria couldn't survive in the alchohol, so it was logical to drink whisky instead of water.

1. It's called the Black Death, not the black plague. "The black plague" sounds like a horribly racist term for the African-British community.
2. Grog, not whiskey. How would someone afford or survive an all whiskey diet?

Be a dwarf?

But he didn't say that, he said black plauge. Which apparently means a black version of a Finnish variety music party group.

Okay Black death, and maybe not all whiskey, but alcohol was better than stagnant, disease-ridden water.

You're getting closer...

1. Black Death is a proper noun, so you capitalize the D in Death.
2. That's not in question. My point is that they didn't drink some 40% alcohol whiskey all day and die of dehydration, they used very small amounts of alcohol to "sterilize" the water.

[kisame12794]

Fine. I bow to your superior knowledge of plagues and booze.

[Mongol13524]

What about grammar?

[kisame12794]

That too.

God, I've been playing way too much of that game. Usually I play two or three games at a time, like Empire TW, Skyrim, and TF2, but I just played five hours of EU3 without breaks and oh god I can't stop.

I've been listening to "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" for the last hour and a half.  I misread about half of the thread topics as things related to Isengard, Balrogs, and Hobbits.

[kaijyuu]

What did you say?

[Xantalos]

Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to get my rent from him.

The Balrog of Morgoth

[RedWarrior0]

So I just realized earlier that Balrog from Cave Story (see my avatar) is basically a cheap Kool-Aid Man ripoff. They both smash through walls and make expressions of joy.
