Oh, alcohol.

Always there for us, whether it’s the throat-burning vodka of our youth, the fancy whisky that makes us feel like a grown up, or the perfectly mixed cocktail sipped after a hard day of pretending to work.

But while its support has always been a constant, alcohol’s form has not. It has changed a LOT through the years – as perfectly illustrated in this video from The Atlantic, which gives a visual history lesson on alcohol through the ages.

There’s kumis, the drink Mongols made by fermenting mare’s milk. Tasty.
