Covered in snow and shivering Dr. Wetbrain stormed into his cabin.

“Quick get in and shut the door!” Harold yelled. “It’s freezing out there.”

“I know, I just walked home from the bar.” The doctor replied.

Wetbrain took off his winter gear and quickly sat down beside Harold and the hot crackling fireplace.

On the frightful freezing walk home from the bar the doctor was thinking about the story of Saint Bernard rescue dogs and the brandy barrels around their necks. Dr. Wetbrain decided that he should relay this myth to Harold.

Halfway on the walk home a St. Bernard with a keg of brandy sure would have hit the spot, the doctor blurted. But the story of the Saint Bernard dog is very interesting.

On the boarder between Switzerland and Italy in the Pennine Alps there is a treacherous route through the snowy mountain peaks called “Great Saint Bernard Pass”. This pass still stands after over a thousand years and is still used today.

Oldest Wine Found In 8000-Year-Old Jars.

Dr. Wetbrain was thinking one day about all the wildlife that enjoy getting drunk. Wild animals were probably getting drunk off fermented fruit long before humans did. Even certain dinosaurs probably got drunk. How long did it take for humans to finally enjoy the indulgence of drunkenness? Or got smart enough.

Recently archaeologists found 8000-year-old clay jars that proves humans were getting drunk since around 5800 to 6000 BC. In November 2017 archaeologists discovered these ancient jars that are around 82 cm in height and 41 cm in width and have carvings of grape clusters and a dancing man. These ancient jars were found about 50 kms from Tbilisi, Russian ruled capital of Georgia, near Persia.

5 Holiday Drinking Kits for Gifting.

“Halloween is over and time to think about Christmas.” Dr. Wetbrain thought. “Let’s see there is the Christmas Booze Advent to give as gifts. But is giving a gift 12 days before Christmas proper? Then there are the Holiday Drinking Kits as gifts. I must investigate this craze.”

Picture this. So, there you are at the Christmas office party, and you are the chosen Secret Santa for of all the people you work with…. Your BOSS!

Your boss finds her brightly wrapped present and is excited. Rips the wrapper off to find a beautiful box with booze, mix, bar tools and glasses. A drinking kit ready to go and entertain at any Christmas or New Years party. She loved her gift.

Hope she found my name on a little piece of paper accidently put into the gift box. Yes, sucking up to the boss!

Dr. Wetbrain loves doing any alcohol investigations and found out that there is a large variety of drinking kits available mostly with prominent brand names. Here are 5 best drinking kits options in the doctor’s opinion.

Cheers!

Admiral Edward Russel’s Party.

On Christmas Day, 1694, there was a young boy paddling a very small canoe in a very large garden fountain.

The fountain was not filled with water. No, it was filled with over 2600 liters of a punch. This little bowl of punch consisted of 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of wine, 20 gallons of lime juice and 1400 pounds of sugar.

These poor canoe paddlers would keep mixing the punch with the paddles and giving drinks with a ladle to all the party goers. Wouldn’t that be a chore! But due to dizziness from the alcohol fumes these young paddlers would get replaced every 15 minutes. Like they had a watch then!

Does Powdered Alcohol Exist?

One day Dr. Wetbrain walked into the kitchen onto Harold putting into a glass of water a teaspoon of a powdered substance.

“What poison are you using Harold!” The doctor yelled.

“Seltzer. Upset stomach if you don’t mind!” Harold replied angrily.

“I thought it was powdered alcohol.” Wetbrain coyly remarked. Like we care.

“Powdered Alcohol exist!?” Harold said with his eyes wide open.

Well Harold in 1966 Sato Foods from Japan created many powdered compounds of natural products such as vegetables and fruits. One great substance they created was powdered alcohol. Sato Foods technology for the processing patents was acquired in 17 countries. Now selling in the U.S.A.

Harold and I were floating around the internet world one day checking out and remarking on all sorts of images. That’s when we came across a picture that had a beautiful wooden two-doored ornamented cabinet that glowed like it was put together in heaven. I’m sure we heard angels singing!

“Emerald Isle Collection”, Dr. Wetbrain read out loud.

“Well let’s look into this”, was Harold’s reply.

Ends up that the Craft Irish Whiskey Co. partnered up with Faberge the famed jeweller to create this elegant, handcrafted cabinet and called it ‘The Emerald Isle Collection’.

This luxurious seven-piece jewelled Irish Whiskey set was designed to celebrate the ‘Seven Wonders of Ireland”.
