🇬🇧 Gulathing's Law

"One of Harald "Beautiful Hair"'s warriors, Torir the Englishman, a former merchant, when he got old, went to the konung and told him that he could no longer keep up with the emptying of horns and cups by the young warriors, and asked to be let go home, as his strength was decreasing. To which the king replied that Torir could stay in the guard and not drink more than he himself wanted. This was a great honor for the old man.

In Gulathing's Law it is said that a person is in his strength and can be considered healthy as long as he can drink beer at banquets, stay in the chair and speak sensibly. If you are unable to do the above, then the heirs have the right to demand the transfer of their assets under their guardianship."
