After I posted this, I began to think that the reason some of these renaissance societies didn't drink water was because of sanitation due to human waste. Ever since the renaissance onward, city dwelling has been on the rise, and we have used water to solve out sanitation problems. And, water does not solve sanitation problems. Deuteronomy said you have to bury your waste in the ground. And, we need to drink water, meaning we need clean water to drink. We cannot be poisoning our wells and rivers with human waste and at the same time thrive. So, I watched a video about the toilet, and it was pretty interesting. Ironic enough, the producer saved the best for last. The best toilet is the composting toilet. It uses no water, and there is no smell. However, if you you do not embrace the farming gardening culture, you will not embrace the compost pile. And, the compost pile is the solution to our human waste problem. It is the solution to our sanitation problem. It is the solution to our drunkenness problem(no more ale in replace of water). It is the solution to our malnutrition problem. Vegetables need nutrient rich soil to grow/produce. Grains can grow in average fair soil, but vegetables need good soil. The compost pile is the solution to our problems. If you are a catholic, and you have the means available to have a compost pile, yet do not, shame on you.
