"The Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock because, the crew feared, the Pilgrims were going through the beer too quickly. The ship had been headed for the mouth of the Hudson River, until its sailors (who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water) panicked at the possibility of running out before they got home, and threatened mutiny. And so the Pilgrims were kicked ashore, short of their intended destination and beerless."
Perhaps not. I'm a Brit who has designed souvenirs in Plymouth (the one in Devon.) That does not make me an historian but I am a bit interested.
"who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water" - no they preferred NOT (Colera OR diarrhea).
