perhaps one should add that - at least in the cities - people, even the poorer ones, hardly ever drank water but wine or beer/ale (as far as I know). Of course, the reason for that habit was not the refusal to fast, but the quality of water (the consequences you can see today: after catastrophes like earthquakes in the 2nd or 3rd world, cholera is sure to follow).
I guess this could be one more argument for drinking wine, as the alcohol kills at least some viruses - in some way also a kind of detox...
