#drunk – @nickkahler on Tumblr

When I was a boy I first learned how much better water tastes when it has set a while in a cedar bucket. Warmish-cool, with a faint taste like the hot July wind in Cedar trees smells. It has to be set at least six hours and be drunk from a gourd. Water should never be drunk from metal.

William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying, 1930

Steven Shearer in Mark Foster Gage’s Rot Munching Architects from Perspecta 47: Money, 2014

But from whichever it is made, whether from oats, barley or wheat, it harms the head and the stomach, it causes bad breath and ruins the teeth, it fills the stomach with bad fumes, and as a result anyone who drinks it along with wine becomes drunk quickly; but it does have the property of facilitating urination and makes one's flesh white and smooth.

Aldobrandino of Siena, "On Brewing," 1256
