An Historical Re-enactment (Of Insobriety).
In medieval times before water sanitisation people drank only mead, since honey has natural antibacterial properties. Being in possession of a bottle of fine Lurgashall Mead, Nick and I decided to test mead out as a water substitute. Being very committed to the spirit of this historical experiment I failed to post to the blog all day, instead revelling in the authentic mead experience.
The conclusive result of our experiment? Drinking only mead is an excellent alternative to drinking water, as long as you have no requirement for driving or operating heavy machinery, and you don't mind that you smashed a whole bottle of perfectly good cava while stumbling about outside the St John.
