Isn't all money fiat?
Anything that isn't is just bartering.
Yes, or backed by actual PMs or other high-value assets. Which actually makes me wonder if those aren't fiat, too, considering artificial scarcity (De Beers and diamonds, for example).
Beer is a legitimate currency, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
The way water supplies are currently (mis)handled, you're not wrong. Beer was developed as a sort of sanitation method, iirc.
