I'm not an expert, but apparently transport accounts for only 11% of carbon emissions for food [1], and I suppose it's likely similar for beer. To me this suggests factors affecting production are far more important.
Currying support is orthogonal to how function arguments work. Some languages (e.g. OCaml according to this question[1]) combine named parameters with currying, allowing partial application with any of the function's arguments.
I think this is the mistake a lot of people make: they form an intuition of monads after seeing lots of examples of them, and then they try to communicate that intuition without just saying "here are lots of examples of monads".
