Re: Booze in the first World War
During WWI, the breweries in Belgium were ordered to close, as the visible steam from the brewing process could attract artillery fire into the towns of their locale (though some continued operating clandestinely at night). However, one was legally allowed to remain open; the brewery at the Abbey of Sint Sixtus (Westvleteren), which supplied beer to thirsty Belgian and other allied soldiers.

"A member of the public from Birkenhead wrote in to complain that the amount being drunk by women was “abnormal” and that male workers heading home from work were, as a consequence, “unable to obtain any refreshment”. He called on landlords to “use more discretion” in the serving of women."
