Ekaterina Mishanenko—an historian and reenactor, a researcher of medieval everyday life and morals, author of popular-science books about the Middle Ages and biographies of historical figures in the “History and Science of Runet” series—publishes a new book “Drunken Middle Ages.” Welcome to the Middle Ages: a cruel and fun era, when people with the same eagerness prayed and killed, sinned and repented, and above all feasted! Back then, people drank alcohol every day—at breakfast, at lunch, and at dinner, starting from swaddling.

• Why did alcohol have religious significance?
• On what occasions did they drink wine?
• How did medieval people manage not to get drunk?
