The origins of Beer Die, often being the subject of debate have been shrouded in uncertainty. However, amidst all the speculation, Maine's Colby College stands out as the possible birth place of Beer Die. The alleged origins of the Canadian variant of the game stem from Chown 407, a local Kingston bar which has held an annual tournament for the past 17 years. The game was brought over the Atlantic to Newcastle University Dental School in 2004, by "Canadian Dave". It has since been a staple of Newcastle Dentsoc drinking games, with the conventional table being replaced by a door.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
