Carnivalesque – what’s your tipple?

Over on Scribbling Woman (one of the first blogs ever on my blogroll) is Carnivalesque No 22, being, of course, a collection of early modern history posts. It is a feast of Christmas reading.

Among many other things I learnt from Raminagrobis that
‘vin de porceau’ in early modern France was ‘[wine] which makes the drunkard to sleepe, vomit, and tumble him in his vomit.’

So binge drinking hasn’t always been just a British thing then…
