Funny, in a lot versions of the Gilgamesh story, Gilgamesh is a tyrant that needs to be taught a lesson. So the Gods created Enkidu to challenge him, but he was wild and uncivilized, so they sent Shamhat to civilize him. She fed him human food and gave him beer, but she also had sex with him for like a week. Scholars debate whether it was the food, drink, or sexy times that turned Enkidu into a human.

In India, we have a drink called Sura, which was basically beer. It isn't very popular today but it was a major part of our ancient culture. There were different types of Sura, using different crops like barley, rice and sugarcane. The sugarcane one was naturally sweet and high in alcohol because of the high amounts of sugar in sugarcane juice, as sugar is what gets converted into alcohol by the yeast.

“Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.”
― Martin Luther

Everyone knows the true history of beer; as told in song
"A long time ago, way back in history,
When all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.
He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
And to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
Tiddly beer beer beer."

Thanks for all this information on our favorite beverages! I've seen your in-depth videos on coffee, tea and chocolate. Now you've done beer. Next you should do wine. Then after that maybe rice-based liquors, like baijiu and sake, potato-based liquors like vodka and rye/barley-based liquors like whiskey and gin. :D
