If someone does the analysis, I’m willing to bet that it coincided with when “work” started being structured around fixed hours and needing you being sober. Historically people used to work way less (hours and number of days). When that is the case, it’s very easy to be drunk all the time.
- flatline 3y agoThe article talks quite a bit about this.
- tomjen3 3y agoThe article is in Danish, but apparently until 1917 it was normal to be super drunk at work: so much so that many factory workers would drink half a bottle of booze before lunch and the rest after lunch + whatever beers was normally drunk. In 1917 the taxes on booze went sky high and the drinking crashed, but it wasn't unusual to be drunk at work. https://videnskab.dk/kultur-samfund/braendevins-historie-snapsens-storhedstid-og-pludselige-fald/ https://videnskab.dk/kultur-samfund/braendevins-historie-sna...
