“First World Problems” are frustrations and complaints that are only experienced by privileged individuals in wealthy countries. It is typically used as a tongue-in-cheek comedic device to make light of trivial inconveniences.

the broth of beer which is produced here as early as 800's of the same type Kiin this day. drinking a beer glass was during the Viking Age as an image, so in my view a bad style error.
