It would seem that the brewing process is extremely complicated for most types of alcoholic drinks, yet humans have been able to make this for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Some experts have suggested that when humans first discovered alcohol, they stopped being able to make other scientific discoveries for a long time. This may be a direct result of the effects of alcohol on the human mind.
7. No aliens have managed to sample alcohol and survive.
8. Point 7 may not be entirely true. No aliens have returned from missions where sampling alcohol was an objective. It is clear that alcohol has some effect on aliens, but we are not entirely sure what that is. The research teams may still be on the planet mixing amongst the humans and may now be as obsessed with alcohol as the humans are. They may be having a great time. They may be dead. We simply don't know. Our best guess is that if there are any aliens living on the planet Earth, they will be living in a place known as LA.
This pretty much represents our full knowledge of alcohol and it's affects on humans. Anyone wishing to sample or experiment on alcohol directly, heed this advice. Remember, the vast majority of violence on the planet involves alcohol. That said, so does the vast majority of sex, marriage, youth, old age and pretty much everything else.
