Re Gin, in the 18th century (or should I say until the late well into Victorian times) the water in London and many industrial cities the water held a lot of harmful bacteria and viruses including cholera and diphtheria so drinking Gin and beer were a lot safer than the water from the wells dotted around London. So the main things that were drunk were milk and low beer (often from a secondary fermentation of the hops in the vats) because of the conditions of said water.
