Necessity played a large part. Plain water was just undrinkable in the large towns and cities so beer was routinely drunk , the government promoted large scale manufacture and distribution of gin (late 17th century) and before then monks were happily making and selling wine to the populace.

I blame the Romans, they were a loose and excessive lot.
