For me I can't stand that they put difficult terrain in the act 2 camp. Makes zero sense. Who the F builds their camp in mud? I would sell my soul to Raphael for a boardwalk.

heatedly discussed - factoid

It's not a factoid but an urban myth, historians are quite clear about this.

Water was – generally – safe to drink, and people drank alcohol for sustenance and because it was less boring than water. They also didn't write that much about drinking water, because it was completely natural to drink it and readily available. Besides, the low-level "small beer" isn't safe because of its alcohol content, it still goes bad rather quickly, but because it was made with clear water and barley cooked.
