The Vikings
In Viking times the alcohol of choice was mead, which was a type
beer made from honey. It was the job of women and girls to make the
mead.
To celebrate a wedding, the Vikings drank mead through the 28
days of the moon's cycle. This celebration became known as a
"honeymoon".
Vikings drank mead from large horns by holding the point of the
horn to their stomach and drinking it all in one go. This made them
very drunk. This often led to fights and arguments. Injuries and
deaths were common because the Vikings were unable to defend
themselves.
