@Hackmaster thanks for looking out for your TTR brothers!
Maybe I actually DONT drink too much beer...... interesting.

@Yargnad Hope your rigging is righted soon, mate!

Seems the same reasoning for grog:

"The story of grog begins with the story of colonialism, British expansion and rum. William Penn (the father of the William Penn who passed on his name to Pennsylvania) landed in what is now known as Jamaica in the 1600s. As Brits were wont to do in those days, he stole the land from the natives and claimed it for the Royal Crown.

Penn and his men couldn’t get all the way across the pond without the help of beer and fortified wine, however. In short, water just wasn’t fit to drink, and alcohol was. The only problem was that wine and beer weren’t readily available in the New World. Enter sugar and human kind’s natural inclination to turn anything fermentable into drinkable alcohol."

Is the poop deck really where sailors would poop off the stern of the ship?
Makes sense I suppose.
 
I'm thinking about a countertop distiller myself.

Was told (by an actual medical doctor) that drinking distilled water can lessen the tendency to accumulate the calcium deposits that constitute osteoarthritis.
