Honeymoon etymology
In medieval Europe, mead was believed to be blessed with children, and it was customary for newlyweds to drink honey on the night of the full moon to encourage child-bearing. This is the etymology of "honeymoon" and there is also a history that it was used as a wedding gift as an auspicious liquor.
