Was browsing the wikipedia last night and found this :)

"Mead was a popular drink among the Polish szlachta. During the Crusades Polish prince Leszek the White explained to the pope that Polish knights couldn't participate in the crusades because there is no mead in Palestine."

sounds like a valid reason to me ;D
