SC - Re: SC medieval soft drinks

[Brett Harrison]

>From Sue Drain on Brett Harrison's account:

I'll drink most fruit juices, apple, orange & "lemonade". When I'm
thirsty or hung-over I prefer to water them down a bit - avoids nausea
while facilitating rehydration. I also agree with having watered wine &
weak 'ale' available. Could the tavern sell 1/2 measures of wine & have
a water pitcher on hand?
