"History of alcohol" redirects here. For the history of the chemical substance, see History of ethanol.

Purposeful production of alcoholic beverages is common and often reflects cultural and religious peculiarities as much as geographical and sociological conditions.

Discovery of late Stone Age jugs suggest that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (c. 10,000 BC).
