Lately, fruit beer has become a real hit. The alcoholic drink with the aroma of various fruits is a favorite drink of many men and women during the hot summer days. However, if you think that this beer has started to be produced soon, you are very wrong.
This drink has been known for nearly nine thousand years. Then the wealthiest cavemen consumed fruit alcohol with pine resin.
And if today we drink alcohol at every opportunity, then thousands of years ago it was considered a sacred drink and was used only during important ceremonies. Thanks to skeletons and fossils found, it became clear that at that time cave highlife used both fruit wine and beer, as well as hallucinogens.
Macrofossil remains of stimulant substances have also been found. In addition, some images in the tombs are believed to have been made after the use of narcotics.
Studies by Dr. Elisa Gera-Dose of the University of Valladolid also testify to the use of drugs and alcohol in Eurasia in prehistoric times.
She studied the remains of fermented alcoholic beverages, microfossils of psychoactive plants and chemical compounds on skeletons before coming to a surprising conclusion.
Research shows that our ancestors made fruit wines and beer from wheat, barley and mead. They also produced alcoholic beverages from dairy products. Scientists believe that alcohol was first discovered in China nine thousand years ago.
Two millennia later, the people inhabiting the Zagros Mountains in northwestern Iran began drinking wine with pine resin. A professional winery, established six thousand years ago, has been found in southeastern Armenia.
Researchers believe that in the beginning the wine was prepared only for funeral rituals, as traces of alcohol were found on some ceramic pieces in funeral sectors.
There are remnants of drugs and alcohol in many tombs. But I think the ancients used these substances because they thought it would be easier to come into contact with spirits, explains Dr. Gera Dose.
