@novafuture Um, have you heard about the #Dionysus / #Bacchus cults? Or ritual #Saki drinking? Or beer and wine in #AncientEgypt (so important that some were buried with it)? And yes, alcohol was given to workers because the water was contaminated. The history of alcohol (and other mind-altering substances) goes back further than modern marketing hype. And yes. Everything in moderation.

"This is a poor boy who has lost his way--and lost his memory. He doesn't know who he is or where he comes from," explained Van Cheele desperately, glancing apprehensively at the waif's face to see whether he was going to add inconvenient candour to his other savage propensities.
– Saki (H. H. Munro), from “Gabriel-Ernest” (1909)

To get an idea of Saki’s range, read “The Lumber Room” & “Sredni Vashtar”. Both stories feature small boys, domineering aunts, & revenge; one is very funny, & the other is wildly unsettling. “The Lumber Room” is in BEASTS & SUPER-BEASTS, & “Sredni Vashtar” is in THE CHRONICLES OF CLOVIS

“Saki’s mother was killed by a cow when he was a child. If that doesn’t turn you into a writer with a morbid fascination with, and deep-seated fear of, the natural world, nothing will”

FERRETS CAN BE GODS
“Children in Saki are often victors in the battle against authority; his stories salute their boldness but have no truck with sentiment. The children are usually nasty, brutish and short, and loved for it.”
—Katherine Rundell on Saki, for the London Review of Books

Roald Dahl (1916–1990) was born #OTD, 13 September. A huge influence on his writing was Saki (Hector Hugh Munro, 1870–1916). Dahl wrote,
“In all literature, [Saki] was the first to employ successfully a wildly outrageous premise in order to make a serious point. I love that. And today the best of his stories are still better than the best of just about every other writer around.”
