oh really? fermented honey really exist??
Mead (/ˈmiːd/; archaic and dialectal "medd"; from Old English "medu"), is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 8% ABV to more than 20%. The defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage's fermentable sugar is derived from honey. It may be still, carbonated, or naturally sparkling; dry, semi-sweet, or sweet. -Wikipedia page
I honestly wasn't sure if it was a real drink when I first heard of it (thanks video games), so I figured I'd see if it was, and apparently it is. It is a bit sickly sweet, as it is fermented honey, but it's quite nice
if you add anything to it it is called metheglin or melomel - depending on what you add.
a word of advice.... do not, under any circumstances, get drunk on mead. the hangover is terrible. probably why the nords are all so grumpy.
why is it so bad getting drunk from mead?? whats the different with getting drunk from general alcoholic beverages?
from my own and friends experiences the hangover is particularly bad. why that should be i'm not sure.

True, bc it is fermented honey, but would having more sugar make an alcoholic beverage more potent? I suspect it's probably something to with the honey itself and not just the added sugar.

Since it is in ESO and still popular in the time of the Skyrim game, so they must be really good.
