“”In humans, alcohol consumption is believed to date back deep into evolutionary history and is often associated with social bonding.””
“”We also know that sharing alcohol, including through traditions such as feasting, helps to form and strengthen social bonds.””

Alcohol has played an incredible role in the growth of Western man and it differs greatly from the role that Cannabis and hashish has played in the societies that were drawn into Cannabis instead of alcohol, the difference in the cultures are night and day.

Humans produce about 3 grams of ethanol per day through gut fermentation of sugars by bacteria in our gut.
Fun fact of the day.
Good point about the difference in cannabis based culture and ethanol base. Less fighting(and everything else) with cannabis plant abuse.
