the whole 'they drank beer all day because water was dirty thing' i just never believe. its from the same morons who claim that everyone was dumping their shit all over the city streets and everyone died by age 40. guess how fricking useless your slaves would be if they malnourished, yet beer bellied idiots on the verge of collapse 24/7? they would have built frick all.
Yeah they obviously drank fresh water when available, the small beers were a safety practice for when fresh water wasn’t available. Also when it comes to the workers who built the pyramids, basically none of them were actually slaves. They were Egyptian volunteers who viewed building a pyramid almost like a civil service/religious practice due to how the culture viewed the pharaoh and death in general. They were compensated for this with a place to live, grain, and of course beer.
It was small beer, like had maybe 2-3% alcohol just because of imperfect brewing methods. Enough for the brewing process to make it safer to drink than regular water at the time, but not enough to get you drunk unless you were fricking drinking like 2 gallons of the stuff.
ancient beer is supposedly nothing like the stuff people brew today. There was an interesting documentary (no I will not search it for you I am too tired) where a guy tries to recreat ancient Sumerian beer from the oldest beer recipe. It's basically liquid bread.
it was also extremely low alcohol content. basically only high enough to kill bacteria. it makes sense if people drank it in places where there wasn't great fresh water available that they wouldn't want it to be high alcohol and get everyone wasted whenever they were thirsty
>everyone died by age 40
This one is a common misconception even among people who should know better.
It's simply a statistical average, a single number representing something more complicated than a single number can express.
The average is heavily biased by infant / youth deaths. It's not really that most people died off at 35 or so, it just averages out to that, per birth. Life expectancy for those who reached adulthood was much longer than that (not quite as high as today's, but for healthy/wealthy people 70s were not unusual at all.).
It's a frick ton of work.
Although British sailors were known to be a but paunchy, especially Officers who could afford every better grub.
Stephan is always on Aubreys case about his weight.
That’s about the same amount of calories that armies give to lazy ZOG soldiers of today sitting on there army barracks and drinking all day and I doubt a sailor does a quarter of the work nowadays than a sailor in the age sail did
>Modern research has shown that the sailor's diet during the mid-eighteenth century contained nearly twice as many calories per day than was available to men on shore or in the British Army. The single largest contributor of calories was beer, of which the Victualling Board purchased sufficient quantity that each sailor could consume a ration of one gallon per day.
It's the Royal Navy, not the British Navy. Also you can only join if you're a black teenage girl who knows how to fix a Type 45 destroyer's SAMPSON radar because she can fix a skateboard.
It was almost certainly some form of ‘small beer’ which had a much lower alcohol content than our ‘drink to get drunk’ beer. It was done to keep the drinking water safe. Small beer alcohol % ranged from 0.5-2.8%
There’s some debate around that, and even if that is true, that would be for beer that was to be sold in India and not the beer they drank on the way there. Also some people think they started brewing IPA because it was more palatable in the hot humid climate than the dark porters that were popular at the time.
This, people use the historically people drank people & wine all the time excuse to justify being alcoholics when the truth is it has much much less alcohol than even the weakest alcoholic beverage of today
>It was done to keep the drinking water safe.
This is a meme as well. That alcohol content does nothing to help sterilization, and it would get as moldy as the barrels of plain fresh drinking water they had on board
The truth is people just liked the taste of it. It provided quick energy in the form of simple carbs, and it was something else to drink besides water or wine. It was essentially the coca cola of the time
now that I think about it, how the frick didn't the fresh water turn completely stale or worse in the wooden barrels they used? was it lined with something or?

It did, you underestimate what kind of disgusting water (from our perspective) people considered (and in some place still consider) potable. The people drinking pic related might be full of worms and possibly heavy metals - but they don't projectile vomit like you would due to being acclimated to it from birth: their gut-flora is essentially completely different from yours.
4000 calories a day wasn't uncommon for physical laborers. English peasants eat like 2lbs of bread a day with about a liter of ale daily. that's close to 3000 calories a day.
you're walking most place and working, you kind of need the energy. carbs are bad today because nobody works like that anymore
smallish guys need 2000kcal just to exist. so they used about 2000kcal for manual labour - that's 8 hours of medium intensity work.
i worked as a farm hand for a few summers, seen rail thin guys eat at least 5000kcal a day. mostly carbs and greasy meat, salads were straight out - if you try to eat that many calories with low calorie density food - you'll be bloated as frick all day. the beer thing also makes sense - if you have to drink 10 liters of liquids a day because you're sweating so much all day that you regularly have to take off your boots to pour out the sweat - drinking just water makes you want to puke and your heart goes all fluttery. coke/beer/lemonade go down far easier.
>smallish guys need 2000kcal just to exist
This fricking meme again. The 2k/2.5k calorie maintenance was arrived at when people actually walked places and weren't sat in front of computer screens or TVs all day every day. The average American male can get away with like 1,600-1,700 calories unless he works manual labour or doesn't drive.
>nooo it's not 2000, it's 1700.
by "just to exist" i include stuff like doing your laundry, walking around, goofing around with your mates, basic thermo-regulation during a windy watch, etc. in other words - everything not related to work duties. let's see if you have a clue about what you're talking about: what is the power density of human fat?

funny thing is: i actually wanted to write "basal metabolic rate+basic activities and needs = 2000kcal. maybe point out that while people tended to be smaller then - doing basic stuff was more labour intensive so it evens out. maybe add an equation or two. but then i thought - nah i'm being too autistic, 'exist' is catch-all for that."
>this weird Q&A session
i accept your concession that you haven't a clue what the frick you're talking about. the answer is: πW.
It was mostly shit food. Bread, half rotten overly salted meat, mouldy cheese, and a bunch of disgusting lead filled beer. Their guts must have been in constant pain and we know for a fact they suffered severe dietary diseases like scurvy. It wasn't the comfy Disney musical people would have you believe. There's a reason why most sailors had to be press ganged aka legally kidnapped by the government into service.
You're about a hundred years off, by the time of the Napoleonic wars the Brits had gotten pretty good at making sure that their sailors had a healthy diet because the alternative was having a bunch of sick and dying sailors fight their wars. They discovered that eating citrus fruit prevented scurvy by about 1750, so at that point they started making changes to their sailors diets.
Youve never worked a real job a day in your life and it shows. Next time you're at a gym find the rowing machine and try to do it for more than 10 minutes. Then imagine doing harder things like that for 12 hours a day.
There was some kind of giant tortoise that was great because you could just take a bunch and stack them up in your ship, giving them a little food or whatever and when you were ready just cut them open and get a few gallons of cleanish freshwater from their organs. They probably ate it too.
I've never heard anyone explain why this was bad, other than out of touch libtards who don't realize most people eat more than localvore vegan avocado toast.

it's not bad. eating stuff that's loaded with carbs, salt and saturated fat is what every feast is about. it's not a normal, everyday meal. it's meant to be an extravagant treat. no difference between burgers and fires or venison with deglaze sauce served with poached potatoes or something.
precisely my point: give people what they want, not some fancy shit everyone has to pretend to like. i can't believe people thought he was cringe for doing this.
Usually it's a more high class affair prepared by the White House cooks, who are government employees, and this was while the government was shut down because the Senate hadn't reached an agreement on the next budget, so they were out on furlough.
But when you see the pictures of the guys that went there, you can tell they didn't mind in the slightest, and were actually fricking stoked.
Besides what the rest of the thread has mentioned, they kept some animals on board- sheep and chickens especially.
You could keep them penned up and fed, and slaughter them when you needed fresh meat, and the hens would lay eggs. I expect the larger ships could even keep a cow or two, especially a Warship that doesn't need to worry about a large cargo hold.
