Alcohol is older than civilization itself — but when did humans first discover it?
From ancient fermented fruit eaten by our primate ancestors to the world's oldest
brewery found in a 13,000-year-old cave, the history of alcohol rewrites everything
we thought we knew about early human culture.

In this documentary, we trace the shocking origins of alcohol — from prehistoric
accident to sacred ritual — and reveal how fermentation may have shaped religion,
agriculture, and the rise of civilization.

🍺 What you'll discover:
→ The 13,000-year-old brewery that predates farming
→ How ancient Egyptians and Sumerians used beer as currency
→ The genetic mutation that let humans process alcohol
→ Why scientists believe alcohol drove the birth of civilization
