Скачать или смотреть FACTS NOT FOLKLORE | Could YOU Survive a Medieval Drinking Contest ? #2 | Stories For Sleep

Tonight we cross the line from playful to serious. In a smoke-hazed medieval alehouse, discover what really happens when you push past your peg: stocks & pillories, Assize of Ale fines, the cucking stool rumor, and the quiet house rules that pull a room back from trouble. We sort fact vs. folklore—from amethyst charms and rosemary caps to “hair of the dog,” possets, and burnt-toast remedies—while the curfew bell and reeve’s shadow nudge everyone toward home.

Then we glide through the last mug and into the aftermath: water before sleep, bread and porridge for morning, and the kind of pacing that lets tomorrow recognize you. Bed-time narration, ASMR-calm, period texture, and just enough gentle humor to keep your liver on speaking terms.

What you’ll hear/learn
• How penalties worked: stocks, pillories, curfew, forfeits, “running your round.”
• Why grooves & peg marks were social guardrails, not just measures.
• Myths vs. reality: amethyst, rosemary, “hair of the dog,” posset & burnt toast.
• The role of monastic hospitality (bread, broth, measured ale) as real infrastructure.
• Wind-down: slow, soothing close to help you drift to sleep.
