The History of Bartending
The History of Bartending
By Tony Sylvester
Beginning of Bartending The history of bartending dates back to ancient times and can be found in Roman, Greek, and even Asian societies. Public drinking houses, as they were called in those times (now called PUBs in England), served as a place for people to socialize. Before the 15th century, the majority of bartenders were alehouse owners and female innkeepers who brewed and produced their own liquor. In western European regions such as England, Ireland, France, and Germany, taverns were the heart of the social world for many professionals from investors to poets. Bartenders and bar owners were considered members of the economic and social elite. They owned property and were recognized as part of one of the wealthiest trades of all time. This social status of bartending was then passed on to the New World.

    In 1620, the first booze came to America was on the Mayflower. Then on the ship, people carried more beer than water.(143) The Puritans on the ship didn’t oppose drinking, they just opposed drinking too much. The famed Puritan preacher Increase Mather wrote that “Drink is in itself a good Creature of God, and to be received with thankfulness, but the abuse of drink is from satan.”(144) Not only Puritans, America’s native-born also like drinking.(145) “In the…

    How was it that a property was only owned for an average of four years before purchased by someone else? Maybe because the life span was shorter in the 17th century or perhaps because those who purchased the property resided elsewhere and thought that they no longer needed the property at 82 Queen Street. This is most likely the reason for the estimated 32 times the ownership of the property traded hands. All of who will not be mentioned, but those that are seemed to have more importance in the history of the property. Keep in mind that the property lot sizes kept decreasing due to specific reasons, one including the cost of the debt and legacies of Elliott.…

    "[Water] was not always readily available and despite specific advice from doctors who claimed that one sort of water was preferable to another for a particular disease, people had to be content with what was on had: rain, river, fountain, cistern, well, barrel or a copper receptacle..." (Braudel, 227) Because of this, many believed it was safer (and in many cases this was true) to drink alcohol versus the unfiltered water that could carry parasites and diseases. In Europe, there were few sources of "safe" drinking water for people and in these instances, only the wealthy or noblemen could regularly afford it. "Whole towns- and very wealthy ones at that- were poorly supplied with water." (228) Major rivers, such as the Seine in the France, had certain areas that were better to drink from like the left bank, which was farther away from populated waste-dumping, whereas the water from the Thames river in London was not good at all. Alcohol, in all of its various forms, turned into the sensible or first…

    The people's defiance to prohibition laws continued to rise and took the amendment’s advocates by surprise. People who could afford the high price of bootleg liquor rushed to speakeasies and gin joints. These establishments could be quite entrancing, where as before prohibition saloons had seldom welcomed women. The new versions of nightclubs invited both the bob-haired “flapper” and her “sheik” to drink cocktails, smoke, and dance to jazz. Working-class consumption of liquor migrated from saloons to their homes. “Bathtub gin”…

    "However, the charge made by alarmed clergymen and statesmen that in this respect America had outstripped every other nation was exaggerated" (10). During the early nineteenth-century the intake of alcohol in the United States with any other countries shows that Americans drank more than the English, Irish, or Prussians, but almost the same as the Scots or French, and less than the Swedes. Because Scotland, Sweden, and the United States were agricultural, rural, lightly populated, and geographically isolated from foreign markets they had stronger holds on distilled spirits. In Ireland and Prussia their economies lacked surplus grain and could not support a high level of distilled spirits production. In England taxes on distilled spirits were so high that people switched from whiskey and gin to beer. "Although through early nineteenth-century Americans did not drink more relatively affluent Europeans of that era, by modern standards they drank a lot"…

    (1) Fast food, which is a very common concept in America today, has not always been so popular. (2) Because McDonald’s was the first restaurant to equip themselves with an assembly line people think that it was the beginning of fast food, but many consider White Castle to be how fast food chains began. (5) When founded in 1921, White Castle was an extremely important part of fast-food development. (3) Surprisingly, at the time, hamburgers were considered revolting. White Castle changed the perception of burgers when they began having nice, white, and clean restaurants with windows. (4) Being redesigned, McDonald’s was closed for a while, until it reopened in 1948, and later followed Taco Bell in 1950 and Wendy’s in 1969.(How Stuff…

    The prohibition of alcohol in the United States lasted from 1920 until 1932. The movement began in the late nineteenth century, and was fueled by the formation of the Anti-Saloon League in 1893. This league and other anti-alcohol organizations began to succeed in establishing local prohibition laws. By the 1920's prohibition was a national effort. The prohibition movement was aimed primarily at closing saloons. Saloons were the brewing companies place in retail business, selling alcohol by the glass. In the early twentieth century, there was one saloon for every one-hundred fifty or two-hundred Americans. This competitiveness forced saloon keepers to find other ways to make money. By the 1920's saloons had become houses of gambling and prostitution, not the innocent, friendly bar we associate the word with today. The prohibition advocates found such establishments offensive, and sought to revoke their licenses. The prohibition did not stop the flow of alcohol; in the demand for smuggled alcohol organized crime was created. These criminals used some of the same weapons police did. Outlaws of that time like Al Pacino became huge celebrities.…

    Beer jugs dating back to about 10,000 B.C. have been discovered and Egyptian hieroglyphs as old as 3100 B.C. show that wine was enjoyed far back into the first and second dynasties. In Egyptian burials, alcohol was used to help the dead journey into the afterlife. There is also evidence that the Babylonians, around 1600 B.C., knew how to brew twenty different types of beer.
