You left out tea. And beer. And coffee.
Did you ever notice how European American expansion and the Industrial Revolution coincides with the development of coffee on a large-scale basis?

I do genealogy on the side, found a POEM to kaffee-trinken from the Volga Germans. I believe it is genetic proclivity.

Coffee and tea. Apparently workers were more suitable for industry when they stopped drinking beer all day. Who’da thunkit?
