    If you just worked for 4h in 30°C weather, believe me it is better than nothing.

      Luckily, in this day and age, clean water is both cheap and plentiful. Unless you’re in one of the places where it isn’t. But in that case I doubt you have access to room temperature beer, either.

        Wasn’t this not really true, historically? Didn’t most societies have a bunch of alcoholism specifically because it was one of the only forms of clean water available, or am I mistaken?

        Not if we’re following the analogy. Warm beer, or bleach. Or dying of thirst. Those are your options.
