When and where did drinking alcohol start?

Answer 1

While no one knows when beverage alcohol was first consumed, it was presumably the result of a fortuitous accident that occurred at least tens of thousands of years ago. However, the discovery of late Stone Age beer jugs has established the fact that intentionally fermented beverages existed and were drank at least as early as the Neolithic period (cir. 10,000 B.C.), and it has been suggested that beer may have preceded bread as a staple; wine clearly appeared as a finished product in Egyptian pictographs around 4,000 B.C. In anthropological terms, fermentation and the consumption of alcohol are considered two of the principal indicators of civilization among any community of the homo sapiens.

Answer 2

There is no reliable answer for this question. We know that alcohol (a beer-like product) was in use in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. Other evidence of beer or wine products has been shown in other regions at least that long ago. Because the bacteria that create alcohol from sugars are quite common around the world, and wine products can be made from almost any fruit, it is nearly impossible to track the origin of alcohol usage. Distilled spirits (vodka, etc.) have their origins in the dark ages in Egypt and Persia about the 8th century. A freezing process for distilling alcohol was developed in Mongolia around 1,000 years ago. Stills were in use in Salerno, Italy by the 12th century.

Answer 3

The average age around the world of the onset of drinking is 12 years.

Answer 4

long time ago .

When early man accidentally discovered fermentation, and recreated it on purpose.
