    Some key takeaways are that beer was one of the earliest alcoholic beverages discovered around 10,000 BCE. Tea also gained popularity in China around 600-900 CE due to its anti-bacterial properties and role in helping the Chinese empire prosper. Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 and became a global brand.

    The consumption of alcohol changed significantly over time - early beers and wines evolved into spirits like rum as distillation techniques advanced. Alcohol also took on medical uses as early as 2100 BCE in Egypt. By the 18th century, spirits like rum played an important economic and social role.

    Tea consumption helped the Chinese empire grow due to its safety compared to other drinks like water or beer at the time. It also played a role in the industrial revolution by keeping laborers awake. The Boston Tea Party was a key event leading to the American Revolutionary War.

     [Beer] 10,000 BCE- Beer was discovered approximately at this time in the Fertile

    Crescent (Egypt and Mesopotamia).

     [Beer] 9000 BCE- Humans began cultivation of their own wheat and barley instead

    of gathering and storing grains. This led to groups of permanent settlements rather

    than a society of nomadic hunters/gatherers.

    Europe and was called the “water of life”.

    spirits.
     [Tea] 600-900 CE- Tea was generally safer to drink than water or beer because of the

    anti bacterial ingredients added from the leaves. Since it was efficient, safe, and easy
