    Humans have used alcohol for literally thousands of years. It was called the water of life.

    That said I can imagine some nosy teetotalers existing even in ancient Babylon or Atlantis for that matter.

      They’ve found clay tablets from ancient Sumeria with odes to beer, which they drank out of tall pottery with a spherical bottom and a narrow neck, like a huge bottle. The beer was unfiltered with a LOT of barley sediment, they drank it out of long hollow plant stems, like straws.
