The earliest known terra cotta stills were found in what is now Pakistan.
By 1000 B.C.E. the Chinese were distlling rice wine.
For centuries in Europe and America, alcohol was mixed with gunpowder and ignited. If the mixture flashed, then the alochol was proven, hence the word proof as a measure of alcohol content.
Europeans called distilled beverages distilled spirits because of the belief that the essence of the plant was derived while the body of the plant died away.
The Little Ice Age (from the 14th to mid-19th centuries) is the reason that Americans today now drink eleven (11) times as much beer as wine. The lower temperature hurt wine production (grapes required warmer climate) and encouraged the production of beer.
nutritional information:
Low zinc status has been observed in 30% to 50% of alcoholics, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Alcohol decreases the absorption of zinc and increases loss of zinc in urine. In addition, many alcoholics do not eat an acceptable variety or amount of food, so their dietary intake of zinc may be inadequate.

The state of California claims that Witches dont have the same equal protection under the law as Jews and Blacks!
The Blood Libel is the false claim made by the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials that supposedly Witches (the Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, and Witch Trials) and Jews (the Inquisitions), who supposedly were extremely ugly with large noses, supposedly kidnapped Christian babies and children (supposedly Witches lured them with offers of herbal candies), supposedly raped Christian babies and children (including oral and anal sodomy), supposedly tortured Christian babies and children, supposedly murdered Christian babies and children by baking or cooking them, and then supposedly committed canabilism by eating the cooked bodies of Christian babies and children.
The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing claims that Ralphs grocery Company (part of Kroger) has the right to engage in the Blood Libel. The DFEH said it would take action against the Blood Libel aimeed at Jews, but not when aimed at Witches.
