Who discovered alcohol?

The discovery of alcohol is widely believed to be accidental, with some evidence suggesting that it may have been first noticed by ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia around 4000 BC. While the exact individual or group responsible for this discovery is unknown, it is thought to have occurred through the process of fermentation, in which sugars in fruits or grains are converted into alcohol by yeast. Over time, the production and consumption of alcohol spread to various cultures around the world, playing a significant role in social, religious, and cultural practices.
