This comment makes me wonder what percentage of gin drinkers know how it's made or what's in it!

Of course, etymology nerds will know that the word gin derives from the word juniper - though it goes thru a few steps to get there.

I knew that one because I spent years bartending! I think if I just drank gin instead of having to study it, I wouldn't have had a clue.

Yeah, 9th-best score! If I’d been more careful the past two days I’d be on a massive streak. The quizzes have definitely been slightly easier lately.

8/10 I was gunning for Rapunzel but went with Goldilocks, and missed 10 (chose words) but see how logical the correct answer is.

9/10, I don't drink and had no idea that gin was even made from berries

It's made from grain. It's only flavored with berries.

If it was made from berries, it would be much more expensive. Instead, it's so cheap to produce that its arrival in England in the early 1700s caused worry about mass intoxication:

It’s flavoured with lots of things, depending on the maker. Juniper berries are standard but also, citrus peel, grains of paradise, coriander etc.

In terms of the gin craze check out Hogarth’s Beer Lane and Gin Alley for the moral outrage it caused

Yes but it's Gin with Sloe berries and sugar, left for a few months and turned every so often. 😋

The last question is very timely as humanity is once again on a precipice. Respectable people are comparing our current moment to the years preceding World War 1.

Didn't really know the scientology one but also didn't know why else I would know the guys name. Fairly easy aside from that, questions fell nicely for me.

10/10. Thought I was slower than I actually was today, but ended up cracking my all-time top 5, with 9,933 😁

At this point all of my top scores are so heavily clustered around the same spot that I think I've found what's probably my upper limit, there's only an 8-point spread separating my top 10 😅 Maybe one day if the questions really fall right for me I could crack 40 haha
