1 During the 13th century, the process of distillation became known in Europe. Distilled beverages were treated as medicines called aqua vitae (water of life). By the 1500’s, aqua vitae was associated with criminal activity in England. In the mid 1600’s, gin was developed in Holland by distilling grain with juniper berries.

2 It was difficult to choose a single quote to open this section so I chose two. Joining Bill and Louie in acknowledging their use are Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Kerry, Bing Crosby (his son revealed his use), Newt Gingrich, Margaret Mead, Michael Bloomberg, Carl Sagan, and Donna Shalala to name but a few (www.alternet.org/dugreporter/18941).
