Bar And Beverage Management

Answer 3

Wow! You really are going back in history

While no one knows when beverage alcohol was first used, it was presumably the result of a fortuitous accident that occurred at least tens of thousands of years ago. However, the discovery of late Stone Age beer jugs has established the fact that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (cir. 10,000 B.C.)

As it evolved though-out he ages alcohol became a commodity to trade wit for things such as rent and food.
It only makes sense that eventually it would reach the retail trade.
From there for centuries generations capitalized on it's merits (or lack of)

Suffice it to say alcohol has both enriched lives and destroyed them as well.
