Adam's ale

Adam's ale (also referred to as Adam's wine, especially in Scotland; sometimes simply called Adam) is a colloquial epithet meaning water. It alludes to the idea that the biblical Adam had only water to drink. This inference gained popularity around the beginning of the 19th-century temperance movement.
== Definition and origin ==
"Adam's ale" means unadulterated water, based on the presumption that the biblical first man Adam had only water to drink in the Garden of Eden. Common variations are "Adam's wine" in Scotland, and sometimes simply "Adam". The phrase is an allusion,〔 colloquialism,〔 epithet,〔 and idiom.〔 In common use until the mid- to late 20th century, usage of the phrase has declined. The earliest known printed occurrence of "Adam's ale" is attributed to William Prynne's ''The Soveraigne Power of Parliaments and Kingdomes'' which was first printed in 1643.〔〔(Adam's Ale ) (1 ). (n.d.). In ''Merriam-Webster Online''. Retrieved July 16, 2015.〕
