London Beer Flood

October 17 is always a day of sombre reflection - the anniversary of the 1814 London Beer Flood when 8 people drowned and another died of alcohol poisoning after a large vat gave way in a brewery. Some died when trampled in a rush to get free beer.

Relatives of some of the victims made a fine profit displaying the corpses in their homes for a fee. Many basements were filled with beer and took many months to dry out.

Here are some funny beer commercials.
