A brief history of alcohol - Rod Phillips

- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2020
- Trace the 7,000 year old history of alcohol, from its first known origins in China to cultures all over the world fermenting their own drinks.
--
Nobody knows exactly when humans began to create fermented beverages. The earliest known evidence comes from 7,000 BCE in China, where residue in clay pots has revealed that people were making an alcoholic beverage from fermented rice, millet, grapes, and honey. So how did alcohol come to fuel global trade and exploration? Rod Phillips explores the evolution of alcohol.

Almost anything can be preserved in alcohol, except health , happiness and money.......good lines
only if you can not control yourselves.. never see to had that problem...
It can also not preserve life
And Lego
I feel pretty happy after a cold one with the boys.
well it depends on what the money is. if it's some kind of food then yeah, you can. heck the alcohol it's self could be the money.

Mr. Friendship bro your in every video comment I can find
even my grandpa used to quote it
Mr. Friendship should be the quote for the beginning of the video
And life sometimes
Thanks for your wise and inspiring comment.
Alcohol addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey with Alcohol. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
No doubts shrooms are 100% blessings from nature. Indeed nature's little miracles
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.benfungi.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction?
Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's
something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)
In the Philippines we have coconut wine (Tuba) and it tastes sweet , but when fermented for too long it becomes vinegar (suka sa tuba/patis) which is a great ingredient in many of our home cooked meals like adobo and paksiw
Bro, recipe plz!
I am from Kerala, India. We also have this. There is one coconut tree right beside my window that used to be tapped for coconut wine. People who do this job are called chethukaar . This wine is called Toddy.
as a filipino, i did not know that….

God I will never be bored of Ted's animations. Plus the voices are so calm.
1:55 In South America, they made Chicha from grains, sometimes adding hallucinogenic herbs.
It looks like just alcohol wasn't good enough for them, and they really needed to get stoned.
They really know how to party.
🤣🤣🤣
Party drugs before it was cool.
I just love how Ted Ed visually presents these different cultures in history.
it's so satisfying to look at

I'd love to see a follow-up on early modern history of alcohol - the history in this video would really complement a TED-Ed on the gin craze in the UK, the temperance movement, and prohibition in the US. Also gives great insight into the origins and consequences of prohibitive drug laws.
can we get a playlist of ted eds animated by just these guys? they always do such a stellar job they're so cute
Gotta love these unique animations.
I can't say this enough. Aside content, whoever is behind Ted-Eds animations is just so so dope👌🏾💯
Eyy

Dope or weed\high yes.....
Not alcohol 😅😅🇦🇬🇦🇬
I love these. I watch them on my spare time at work and then I talk about them with my kids! They like learning about something new with me.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart whoever invented it
Honestly, Ted-Ed teaches me more in five minutes than my teacher does in one hour.
That's Because Our System Of Education Lacks The Proper Education We *Need*
More than the teacher will ever teach us too
Because we’re not common core state

Middle-east: ban alcohol!
Also middle east: *discovers distillation process*
You really think they dont drink ? I have to dissapoint you.
actually they invented for medicine
Alcohol is banned by all religions as far as I know
Especially in Islam, Muslims don't drink

Great work team. This was the kind of info I’ have been searching 😙
Beer was a great thing, because drinking water wasn't always safe, and fermented wheat was an easier way to store away calories in harsh winters... Have you ever been to a vineyard? There's yeast on the outside of the grapes which give the grapes the dull shade

The amazonian alcohol with hallucinogenic herbs sounds pretty sweet.
Chicha (the Amazonian alcohol mentioned) is made by chewing maize into a coarse paste. The amylase in saliva breaks down the starches of the kernals into simple sugars, so they in turn can be converted to alcohol by microorganisms. Chicha is still drank in parts of South America today, and a place that sells it is called a Chicharia. Chicha is made almost exclusively by women; in fact, women on average produce more amylase in their saliva than men, so they're naturally more suited to the task. Chicha also tends to be low in alcohol content, no more than 4% ABV.
@@fahn777 really?
@@ultimatebishoujo29 there are several examples online. Dogfish Head brewing even made a batch, they got the entire brew house to chew corn over the course of several days and made a chicha-inspired beer.
From what I heard it was pretty good.
(Colombian) Yes, but hallucinogenics aren't use in chicha for years, because, you know, it's a problem use or sell allucinogens here. But yes, chicha is delicious, i can't explain the taste, it's like citric but sweet, and yeah, the percent is 4%, because the point with the chicha is a balance, when the chicha "se pasa" it's because the alchol content grow up, and the taste is to strong, to drink. And, NOT, is not so easy to do (i wish) jajajaja
Andians : hey what a bout we make somehing like this but everytime its hallucinogenic?
That was a great video, nicely sums it all up.
Nobody invented alcohol, they discovered alcohol.
yeah no, you can discover something that allready exists, a mushroom, water springs, etc., alchool dosen't naturally exists in nature, you can not discover it, someone has to invent the process of fermenting and getting the alchool out of fruits. you can discover cannabis tho, and smoke it.
Yeah, alcohol occurs naturally in the overripe fruit. So alcohol itself was discovered, ways of manipulating and controlling the process were invented.
And by raazi
I love how Ted Ed makes simple topics so interesting to learn..
Tell me about it
its wrong !!
@@GiarkReleos wtf do u mean??
@@vaishnavi1321 The information in this video is incorrect. The first person who discovered pure alcohol (ethanol) by distilling wine was a well known Iranian/ Persian alchemist by the name of Mohammad ibn Zakaria Razi (864-930 AD).

Don’t know who invented it but I’d like to buy them a drink.

A tribute to Zakariya Razi (865 - 925 AD), an Iranian pioneer scholar
Abu Bakr Mohammad Ibn Zakariya al-Razi, known in the West as Rhazes, was born in 865 AD in the ancient city of Rey, Near Tehran. A musician during his youth he became an alchemist. He discovered alcohol and sulfuric acid. He classified substances as plants, organic, and inorganic. Alcohol from (wine was created in Persia 7000 years ago)
Btw, 'World's oldest wine' found in 8,000-year-old jars in Georgia. 🇬🇪😊👍
It was weird to think every civilization could made their own alchohol drink while the earth was disconnected. It is like something come from inside human instinct
no its not weird at all. Let me help you here. People store food. There is no fridge. Food eventually goes rotten. Donot have anything else to eat. Try making something out of rotten food like grapes etc. voila alcohol.
@@FFn101 Exactly, many things that we have invented or discovered were found from accidents.
It was an easily available resource
it makes total sense

AMAZING
I love how people were like, "woah, this makes me feel doozy- TIS CAME FROM THE HANDS OF THE DIVINE!"
Thank you TED-Ed to do so much hard work and provide such a wonderful knowledge for free.
The discovery of alcohol was likely a complete accident similar to how Penicillin was discovered. What probably happened was stored food or drinks became spoiled and because of the harvest being so important they were left with no choice but to try the formenting beverage/food in order to survive and accidentally stumbled upon alcohol.
I love your video keep sending more
Very nice
This kind of animation is the best kind of animation I have ever seen on Ted-Ed. I first saw this on their video on The Canterbury Tales, and I have been enchanted by it ever since. I hope to see more of these kind of videos in the future.
I'm grateful for handsanitizers and medical/ lab grade alcohol.
In addition, medical alcohol is also used by locals to roast dried squid as a snack that goes with beer in Vietnam. This roasted dried squid is a treat even without beer.

The cult of Alcohol is depicted in Rig Veda, where it is described as a drink made from the tree "Soma". The juice is fermented and used as a recreational drink "Soma Raas". It is also used in religious rituals.
True
Nah, Soma is a whole another drink. We have different word for alcohol, "Sura".
Bcoz vedas was highly impacted by the middle eastern culture.
Its sura not soma, soma was hallucinogenic drug, others speculate it was just masturbation

It would be fascinating to see more content about the process of fermentation! Regional fermented foods and the people across the world who have acquired a taste for them are fascinating. Thiers is the story of discovery, adaptability, tradition, cultural identity and pride. I would love that!
The process of fermentation is truly fascinating and has played a significant role in many cultures around the world. The diversity of regional fermented foods and the stories of the people who have developed a taste for them are a testament to human adaptability and the richness of cultural traditions. Exploring the history and significance of fermented foods can deepen our understanding of the world around us, and there is certainly a wealth of fascinating content to be discovered in this area.
