MODERATORS
The most terrifying part is people being forced to drink beer instead of water, they'd be dropping like flies because of dehydration.
Historically, as I understand it, what they would drink would be pretty weak ABV. 2-3%. Barely beer at all. It'd be plenty hydrating.
You can keep hydrated from alcoholic drinks up to around 10% alcohol. Of course you'll be drunk as fuck all the time is it had more than around 3%.

That's truly fascinating, it never occurred to me, but low alcohol beverages could be way safer than untreated water.
My understanding is that weak beer was the source of people's water intake for most of human history.
I've heard anything under 4% is actually hydrating. That comes with no source though.
Seems like a win.
