Comment on The great medieval water myth (2013)

Comments

This seems like an example of black and white thinking. Did they never drink water? beer? wine? Of course not. A better question - under what circumstances did they prefer beer? wine? cider? water? And later on tea? coffee? Etc?

Yes. But many myths are based on such black and white thinking.
