      History in general really. Everyone was so fucking drunk all the time in the 19th and 20th centuries.

        And before ibuprofen even existed, madness. Imagine the headaches everyone must have had day after day, all day long

          Nah they still had OJ back then and there's a reason "hair of the dog" is a thing.

          Fresh orange juice with all the pulp is a great thing to drink first thing in the morning after heavy drinking.

            I wonder if they argued over the orange pulp like people do today

              Doubtful. I'm sure strained OJ was a more recent thing brought on by mass production and juice from concentrate. Back then people would probably look at you funny for removing all the delicious and nutritious pulp.

          Imagine what life must have been like before synthesized insulin. All the diabetic people would have died really quickly.

        I remember hearing that this was the case in old (Rome era) societies. They had wine and beer, albeit at much lower proofs than we drink today, as a common beverage because it was safer to drink. So peasants just got up and worked every day with a nice buzz.

            The difference then is that they worked relatively few hours out of the day, had large spans of the year spent not having to work, and had festivals and community around their labor.

          Belgian laborers were fed calorie dense high alcohol dark beer as lunch.
