Quote from http://www.answers.com/beer :
"Beer is one of the oldest beverages humans have produced, dating back to
at least the 5th millennium BC and recorded in the written history of Ancient
Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Classical Greece and Rome wine was the usual
alcoholic beverage and beer was little known, except as a drink favoured by
foreigners (barbarians) of the Middle East and northern Europe. Tacitus wrote
disparagingly of the beer brewed by the Germanic peoples of his day, but
documentary evidence (e.g. from Vindolanda) shows that Roman troops serving
in northern and central Europe customarily drank local types of beer."

Beer's definately a "world" "problem" now... as well as world joy :-).
