It was brought to North America by Scottish immigrants and since it is played in the cold, founded by Scots surely back then alcohol was a regular part of playing. Interesting fact is that there are no judges in the Curling competition.

Curling now has a very popular and prominent place in the Olympics.  Curling is part of the Winter Olympics and last held competitions at the 2018 Olympic Games.
