Skål

                                 

At this point I salute the ancients for their vast knowledge (drinking abilities) and their ways of life (devastation, pillaging, murder).


The Vikings were a fierce people to whom Ales were an important part of their being. They would demolish their enemies while drinking, drink afterwards to celebrate, then drink the next morning to celebrate their celebration! Bad ass pirates.


A violent, utterly f*cked up way to live, that left behind some absolutely bad ass stories. Although mythology is never complete truth as far as we know, if it was all made up... the person who wrote it had to be drunk.


Skål to those who died on the battlefield, 
and to those who stayed behind to write their 
legends!
