"You will observe with concern how long
a useful truth may be known and exist before it is generally recieved and practiced on."
- Benjamin Franklin

@davidak iirc we developed the ability to process alcohol better because 1g of alcohol almost has 8kcal, thus a great option for survival purposes. Though back in those days we were eating overriped fruits and veggies not distilled spirits.

"Alcohol is a toxin that kills cells such as microorganisms, which is why we use it to preserve food and sterilise skin, needles etc. Alcohol kills humans too."
