Vessels found in China dating back to 7000 B.C. have organic compounds consistent with fermented honey and rice. Mead was the revered “nectar of the gods” in ancient Greece and the “drink of kings” throughout history, though it has faded to obscurity in modern times. For homebrewers, mead is a great addition to complement your other fermented offerings. Many of your guests may have never tasted a good quality mead or melomel (fruit mead), but almost everyone enjoys this sweet beverage. Using some modern methods, mead is also relatively easy and quick to make, and you can use equipment you already have on hand for homebrewing. MODERN MEADMAKING TECHNIQUES When I started homebrewing back in 1987, the fermentation of mead was a very slow process, taking 12 to 18 Photo by Charles A. Parker/Images Plus Parker/Images A.

    Time to End Big Alcohol’s Predation on Youth ALCOPOPS 2020 TIME TO END BIG ALCOHOL’S PREDATION ON YOUTH A report from Alcohol Justice and San Rafael Alcohol & Drug Coalition February 2019 1 Alcopops 2020 ALCOPOPS 2020 TIME TO END BIG ALCOHOL’S PREDATION ON YOUTH Carson Benowitz-Fredericks, MSPH Research Manager, Alcohol Justice Bruce Lee Livingston, MPP Executive Director/CEO, Alcohol Justice EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Alcopops comprise a wide array of low-price, sugary, carbonated, heavily flavored alcoholic beverages. They can be very strong and very large, going as high as 14% alcohol by volume (ABV) and coming in sin- gle-serving cans as large as 25 oz. Their strength, combined with their resemblance in both packaging and flavor to sodas and energy drinks, makes them extraordinarily attractive—and dangerous—for youth. Findings • Nearly two-thirds of underage drinkers drank alcopops in the past month. This number has risen despite government efforts to curb the products. • Underage drinkers who drink alcopops are more likely to have episodes of heavy drinking, suffer alcohol-related injuries, and engage in physical fights. • Early exposure to alcoholic beverages may create permanent changes in the brain. Overexpo- sure to sugars may also permanently change brain function. • A single alcopop can deliver up to 5.5 standard servings of alcohol. This makes one can the equivalent of a binge drinking session, and could send a young drinker to the emergency room. • Alcopop drinkers underestimate their own blood-alcohol content (BAC) by up to 0.04 percent. • Big Alcohol persistently markets alcopops in youth-friendly ways, including low price points, flashy packaging, social media campaigns, and ubiquitous presence in convenience stores.
