The History of Alcohol
Notas do episódio
From prehistoric fermentation to ancient beer, sacred wine, powerful spirits, imperial trade, prohibition, and modern public health debates, this episode explores how alcohol has followed humanity through almost every stage of civilisation. It has been food, medicine, ritual object, social glue, economic engine, moral panic, and public health problem, sometimes all before lunchtime. The History of Alcohol is a story of farming, cities, religion, empire, law, industry, pleasure, and harm.
