"Root beer was invented in Pennsylvania. In the 1800s it had alcohol in it, but the coal miners wanted a version without alcohol, so they took the alcohol out of it."

I got a little taste of "root alcohol" last night, and had the soft stuff this afternoon.
Oh, those puritanical coal miners. They took the fun out of everything.
