Speaking of binge drinking, the Edda tells us when Thor visited the castle of the giant Uthgarda-Loki, several tasks were performed by the god and his companions to test their true strength. One such task required Thor to drink from a seemingly bottomless horn of ale, but even the mighty asgardian couldn't manage to empty it. After several more tests, when Thor thought himself defeated, the giant confessed in shock the tests were more than they seemed. It happened that the horn led to the ocean and Thor drank so much that since then, we have low tides.
The wisdom of the ancients. Let's never forget.
