The people coming up with all this craziness are always in someway paid by our tax dollars. That’s the really bad part about these dumb articles.
Yea, but when did they figure out how to make bourbon?

Aye, the beer wench is worth the price of this bitter ale.
It’s certainly been a long morning after.
I’ll drink to that!
All they had to do was eat overripe berries, like birds have done for millennia.
Evolution is random, right? It's not like a species decides: "I'd like to fly" and then, over millions of years, it develops wings. In fact, a species may experience genetic drift sort of "in the direction of" wings. And some of these minor genetic changes may impact some unforeseen advantage to offspring and therefore be preserved, and so over time this generic drifting may reach the point where some level of flight is possible.
The wings were not made on purpose, or for any reason, they just happened because tiny genetic changes occurred and wound up being useful at some point.
So, the fact that humans COULD metabolize ADH4 does not in any way provide evidence that we were consuming alcohol, right?
AT SOME POINT we consumed alcohol, and our ability to metabolize ADH4 came in handy then. But it's not like we specifically developed this genetic trait BECAUSE we were drinking alcohol -- that would veer toward Lamarckism, right?
So they have no idea when we started drinking alcohol.
The crap that tax dollars are being wasted on. 10 million years ago? Really? Junk evolution so-called science. Wonder why the college students are getting dumber by the hour.
Not to stir up the evolutionists in the crowd too much, my master changed water into wine at a wedding one time, and that’s enough for me. Got that info from my Uncle Emmitt who was once a Baptist preacher who believed it was grape juice not real wine. Of course uncle finally died and was cremated. Nearly burned down the crematory.
Sorry if I have offended any Baptists or evolutionists.
10 million -12 if they were drinking decent Scotch.
Soon after Adam and Eve were run out of the Garden, they figured out how to make alcohol. First they used grapes, and then discovered it could be made from all sorts of stuff. The real challenge was figuring out how to brew beer, or distill different brews into stronger stuff without poisoning themselves, the kids and grand kids. ...Now according to some, this could have been as much as 12000 years ago, or maybe around 4000 years ago, but whatever it was, Noah drank enough to pass out in his tent, and there are days I can sympathize with him.
Just fun’n around. But in all seriousness, the great moment came when someone figured out how to use charred oak and apple wood to age the stuff. Oh yeah, and when they figured out how to use malt.
If you can get plastered and still survive the lions and hyenas you must be pretty smart right? The dumb ones get weeded out pretty quick. lol
