I live on a 100 acre ranch in Texas. I have family of deer that live on my land and depending on how much hunting is going on in the surrounding ranches, there are 8-20 in my pasture each morning. When my fruit trees are done and I have picked all I need for the season, the deer come in and eat the rotting fermented fruit, get drunk and pass out. I have pictures of me standing right on top of 15 deer passed out, legs in the air snoring. It doesn't seem too far of a stretch to realize how humans found alcohol. Even Cro magnon and Neanderthal made drinking bowls found in their caves.

@Platypus_Warrior 4 жыл бұрын

I couldn't dislike because it's so well made and instructive but the video is too bias in my opinion. The benefits you claim are only for those who can really drink moderately. Overall alcohol kills much more than it saves. It is considered a hard drug because of the strong addictive power and destruction it can have. The same religion who identifies wine as god's blood is also the one who created AA. I am personally addicted to alcohol like many others and I wish I had never touched it.

@HistoryScope 4 жыл бұрын

@@Platypus_Warrior Hence why I did mention that people who won't suffer from addiction have health benefits. Alcohol addiction, as far as I know (you probably know better than I) happens very quickly with people just drinking a few drinks per week. I wasn't talking about those people. So I was excluding all the people who suffer from alcohol abuse, from the weekly binge drinker at college parties, to people who drink to forget mental or physical pain. You are absolutely right that the health benefits are far far far smaller than the drawbacks for a lot of people. And also an interesting note is that throughout history most alcohol beverages were safer not just because it contained alcohol, but because boiling water was part of producing the drink. And it was the boiling of water that killed off the diseases more than the alcohol did.

@redcoat4348 4 жыл бұрын

@redcoat4348 4 жыл бұрын

+Jeremy Lopes Alcoholic drinks were considered safer at the time because of the fact that water was boiled in the creation of making it and that alcohol itself is an antiseptic of sorts. Also I'd add that Catholics believe that wine BECOMES God's blood when communion is given, and it's not until it's blessed by a priest and enters the mouths of those receiving communion that it becomes considered such, otherwise it's just wine. Same thing with communion wafers, after being blessed and being given to a practitioner, it's considered to be the body of Christ. Protestants (and possibly Orthodox, I'm not too sure on the latter) are less literal in their interpretation of communion, and believe that no transubstantiation of the bread and wine takes place, except a metaphorical one.

As a First Nations from Canada, Manitoba, I know a lot about the history of the First Nations, mostly the Ojibway's. According to my ancestors, alcohol was seen as an evil spirit (similar to something like possession by demons). If you drank, you weren't welcome to any kind of ceremony as you're seen as corrupt and in need of help. It's still like this with my people. You're not allowed to drink and practice our way of life as you're spirit isn't in your body because of the alcohol. It sounds harsh but I promise you that it's not near as harsh in person. Also, there's way more to this but it's just a quick blurb because this is a KZfaq comment.

@harmreductionman4474 2 жыл бұрын

Is that related to the (historically) high rates of alcoholism among indigenous peoples, and the way colonists used alcohol to try and control/weaken them? I know there were some tribes that consumed alcohol in some capacity, but IIRC it wasn't nearly as heavy or widespread as the European culture. Also I believe many native ethnicities have high rates of the same genetic alcohol metabolizing problem that Asian ethnicities do. I wonder if the belief that alcohol was an evil spirit (hehe, spirit) came from that dark history as a way to protect indigenous communities from excessive drinking

@noahcarver6072 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, as always. Small thing about the Pirates i'd like to add/ ask about: I always thought pirates were associated with rum because alcoholic beverages were the only ones that didnt rot away after months on sea, -stored in wooden barrels. Water turns bad pretty quick in those barrels, so it was no option. Its the same thing with some english universities around that time, students were given Wine instead of water when there was no/not enough ground water for a well. The water just rots way to quickly when its stored in wooden barrels, Rum/Wine/Beer doesent.

The Persian physician, alchemist, polymath and philosopher Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi (854 CE - 925 CE) is credited with the discovery of ethanol.[116] The process later spread from the Middle East to Italy.[113][117] Production of alcohol from distilled wine was later recorded by the School of Salerno alchemists in the 12th century.[118] Mention of absolute alcohol, in contrast with alcohol-water mixtures, was later made by Raymond Lull in the 14th century.

I would argue the same stuff applies to the war on drugs. Does that mean we make every drug legal? I don’t know, maybe, maybe not, but what we do need is a massively different approach that’s more in line with the reality that people will always do drugs.

Cool video. It surprised me that you didn't cover the Sumerians, who predated the Egyptians by an estimated millennium, and whose great cities were built around beer. They had the first known beer parlours, worshipped the beer Goddess Ninkasi, and etc. Also, gin is flavored with juniper and other botanicals, but is a grain alcoho, not distilled juniper wine. Juniper wine is an interesting concept, I don't know how good it'd be.

In my untrained eyes, your video is well researched and well presented. Alcohol, like religion, are not the bad element in our society, we, as an individual and as a group/culture, are those that made alcohol and religion to be bad. If alcohol would to be used in its moderation, we would not have such issue as prohibition here in the US, but, as we say in my heritage language of the Hmoob, our eyes are bigger than our stomach (greed) so we always consumed it more than needed to. Thanks!

Gin and Genever are 2 different categories and have a very different taste. Genever taste malty with hints of juniper (from the malted grains used to make it, then it's infused with Juniper and other botanicals, and sometimes distilled another time), Gin (depending on the type) taste sweet, piney, citrus, has a great aroma, and is super refreshing.
