Mercurial: Beer

Beer

Beer comes from the Latin bibere, to drink.
Cerveza comes from the Gaul cervesia, whcih comes from the Celtic word Korma.
So, if you are a red-blooded American, you are asking for your beer in a Latin-derived form. If you are a Latino, you will be asking for it using a Celtic-derived word.

Just enjoy it, you know?
