Well we've been drinking something for at least 5,000 years if not longer dating archaeological history. Social morays may have changed this over the years but there is some sort of instinct towards euphoria I think. Prohibition was the shortest constitutional addition and it made the roaring 20s and "speakeasys" (underground bars) what they were. In some ways the nightlife of the 20s can be compared to the me generation and clublife of the 80s.Moderation in all things, they say...
Now of course this doesn't apply to true genetic alcoholics. I wouldn't be encouraging imbibing.
