     I love that idea. Don't forget that many ancients thought it was a 
     gift of the gods, and it made you feel good, too. It can be a 
     manifestation of a grain goddess or god. Hangovers can be the spirit 
     of reprisal. Do not forget, Glorantha is not the RW, we can make 
     alcohol whatever we want.
