Fructose increases the rate of ethanol elimination in humans.[1]
Dunbar's number is "the number of people you would not feel embarrassed about joining uninvited for a drink if you happened to bump into them in a bar."[2]
The area of the Spanish Empire was 5,400,000 square miles (14,000,000 km2) in 1763.[3]
Rome may be considered the first global empire in the sense that it grew as big as was possible with the transportation technology that existed at the time,[4] or in the sense that it stretched across different time zones and cultures and dominated Europe, Africa and the Middle East politically for a millennium and a half.[5]
Petter Nesser only considers Western Europe, not all of Europe.[6] The Heritage Foundation does not consider the Balkans part of Europe.[7]
