Pretty much since it was discovered thousands of years ago. There are hieroglyphs on the walls of the pyramids telling how to brew beer. And wine has been around that long, if not longer. Most ancient civilizations had some sort of fermented beverage that they used.

Since before recorded history. Archaeological finding indicate the use of beer at least 9000 years ago, and there is no reason to think that it does not go back much farther. Distilled liquors, such as brandy, did not come into common use until about the 10th Century C.E. They were most likely discovered by alchemists doing experiments in distillation.

Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of about 1 unit (0.6 oz)of pure alcohol per hour. One unit is the amount found in one 12 oz. beer, one standard shot, or one 6 oz. glass of wine. Therefore, a 12-pack would take a minimum of 12 to 15 hours to clear your system, depending on how long it took you to drink it.
