Publisher's Synopsis
There are many examples of alcohol use, including The Sheriff of Nottingham promises a "butt of ale" to the winner of a shooting contest. There is always drinking when there is feasting. At Little John's christening, they have a barrel of ale. Robin and the Tinker go to a local inn to drink ale together. Robin asks the host to put additional alcohol in the Tinker's ale. Robin Hood gets the Tinker so drunk that the Tinker passes out. John drinks ale and buys ale for many at the fair and at inns. Little John spends the night drinking at the Blue Boar Inn on his way to get Lincoln green cloth from a man in Ancaster.
