Answer 1

The history of bar-tending dates back to ancient times and can be found in Roman, Greek and even Asian societies. Public drinking houses as they were called in those eras served as a place for people to socialize. Before the 15th century, the majority of bartenders were alehouse owners and female innkeepers who brewed and produced their own liquor. In western European regions such as England, Ireland, France and Germany, taverns were the heart of the social world for many professionals from investors to poets. Bartenders and bar owners were considered members of the economic and social elite. They owned property and were recognized as part of one of the wealthiest trades of all time. This social status of bar-tending was then passed on to the New World.

Answer 2

Once upon a time a guy wanted to meet women, so he thought making drinks would be a good way to meet lots and lots of women. And that's how bartending began...and they lived sloshed every after.
