is there a god associated with drinking? :viking:

Good Morning To You, My Gentle Friends,

What an Absolutely Fabulous Question!!! . . .

To which there is an Equally Fantastic Answer, No Doubt!!! . . .

Have a most thoughtful morning . . . forthwith . . .

:huh:

Uh, is there one that isn't? :lol:

Really, there are some with connections...

Aegir, god of the sea, brews ale for the gods

Beyla and Byggvir, servants of Freyr - sometimes thought of as the givers of mead and ale (their names come from the words for "bee" and "barley" respectively)

Odin is the keeper and giver of the mead of poetry

Kvasir was the wisest of all creatures (sometimes considered the god of wisdom) and when slain by 2 dwarves, they brewed the mead of poetry from his blood

and Thor's capacity for drinking is well attested in the sagas :D

Thank the gods for that! A dry Viking is not a happy Viking.

:blink:

I suppose I should keep quiet about the fact that I don't drink, then, huh?

:unsure:

* hands Crown Prince Thorfinn a big glass of alcohol-free mead * ;)

Thank you, Ard-Ri Aoife!
