There wouldn't be any civilization without beer. It is the cornerstone of civilization, otherwise people would have drank the water and we'd still be in the dark ages with low life expectations, never evolving to a point of civility through wisdom. To beer !!

Beer does seem to lighten people up.

Is it law?

Yes, I believe adherence to law makes or breaks society. But then again, one must consider the nature of the law. Established law gives the prerequisite of what ought to be (both pragmatically and morally, depending on the initial context of the issue), since everything in the world is affected by the Fall.

Can a nation without law be classified as civilized?
If a nation has law, is that when it is classified as civilized?
What would a nation's law need to say for it to be classified as civilized?
Would a nation need to not have punishment in order to be civilized?

Some people don't understand that rules are supposed to be for everyone's good.
