In the section "The Birth of Intelligence", the weather is very hot. Why do soldiers fight for drinking?

It is precisely because of the hot weather that these soldiers on the road feel uncomfortable because of the rapid evaporation of water in their bodies, so they want to relieve their inner heat by drinking. But these soldiers didn't expect a bowl of wine to kill them, because they were drugged in the wine. This medicine, commonly known as antiperspirant, can make people temporarily unconscious, so these soldiers can't keep their eyes open after drinking alcohol.

A wonderful story fragment in the Water Margin is to outwit the class of birth. The story is very exciting. At that time, Yang Zhi, a blue-faced beast, was the person who escorted the birth class. As the leader of this team, Yang Zhi led many soldiers to escort the birth program together. It was a very hot day, and the hot weather made Yang Zhi and others feel very uncomfortable. But they didn't bring water, so their mouths were very thirsty. But at this time, useless people brought some drinks. At first, Yang Zhi's people were very cautious. They didn't want to drink at first, but when they saw Wu drinking alone, they finally couldn't help drinking. In this way, Yang Zhi and others fell into the trap of Wu Yong and others.

In addition, in fact, there are other reasons besides the hot weather, because in the Northern Song Dynasty, the brewing degree was relatively low at that time, because the brewing technology at that time was relatively backward, and most of the wines they brewed were rice wine with a degree of only about 10. This also makes Yang Zhi's people thirsty. The wine of Song Dynasty is completely different from the wine brewed in contemporary society. Due to the mature equipment and technology of brewing in contemporary society, the degree of wine brewed is very high, and the lowest degree is about 40 degrees, which is several times higher than that in Song Dynasty.

So in the eyes of these Jianghu heroes, it seems that these drinks are actually no different from ordinary water. In order to relieve their thirst, they forgot so much and drank several bowls in one breath.
