When you’re celebrating this Christmas don’t be too hard with yourself. Remember that even our monkey ancestors 10 million years ago liked booze.

They discovered that fallen, rotten fruit was not only tasty but also rich in calories and evergy. It helped them survive climate change and the disappearance of tropical forests where they used to live.

For millions of years alchol has shaped human societies, mostly for the better actually. It helped socialise and keep communities cohesive in the face of adversities.

Obviously, there’s a far cry between this and getting absolutely hammered at the pub. 😅

Happy Christmas everyone!
