just drank a mystery amount of rum. tell me about the history of alcohol
tyrinh to make a good OP:
>Chemical analysis of jars from the neolithic village Jiahu in the Henan province of northern China revealed traces of alcohol that were absorbed and preserved. According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, chemical analysis of the residue confirmed that a fermented drink made of grapes, hawthorn berries, honey, and rice was being produced in 7000–6650 BC.[3][4][5] The results of this analysis were published in December 2004.[5][6] This is approximately the time when barley beer and grape wine were beginning to be made in the Middle East.
>Wine's first appearance is thought to date from 6000 BC in Georgia.[7] The earliest firm evidence of wine production dates back to 5400 BC in Iran [1][2].
>Evidence of alcoholic beverages has also been found dating from 3150 BC in ancient Egypt,[8] 3000 BC in Babylon,[9] 2000 BC in pre-Hispanic Mexico,[9] and 1500 BC in Sudan.[10]

why did our ancestors cause us to act like retards /his/?
Retard juice has antimicrobial and anti-parasitic properties, creating a selective pressure of people who indulged in such shenanigans to reproduce and spread their genes. This also explains the spread of ass blast berries from the new world to all sorts of cultures in the new, especially around the equator and humid climates where microbial growth is accelerated

if remember correctly indians (west) are more susceptible to alcoholism due to their genes. was alcohol not known to the new world pre-eurofucks? isn't a good portion of north american fresh water dangerous to drink without being sterilized?
