Comment on is the romantic period due, in any part, to the high alcohol content of their food ?

I don’t know of any significant use of alcohol when making foods.
That seems to be a more modern idea (1800’s onward).
I’m no authority, this is just from reading Apicius and other historical food making sources.

Let me introduce you to the healthy medieval childrens breakfast, consisting of old bread dipped in beer soup served with generous amounts of diluted beer!
Apart from that, the Romantic era started around 1800, though…
