    your listed taxonomy looks to me like western asia? Definitely a long history of coffee consumption.

    I've been drinking caffeine daily since i was a child and couldn't imagine stopping. Really. Yet, it's something that's a very recent trend relatively for my ancestors, at maximum only about 400 years of tea or coffee, much less for some branches I can figure.

    I believe stimulants did exist in Europe previous to these substances though, but less possible for daily use and instant effectivity.




    Re: the glib "yeah, WATER", do you think all water is the same around the world? Perhaps you are living in the land where your ancestors have lived for a long time, perhaps not? Do you have any very old springs/sources of water or unique ones? They could be a little time machine in a way.

    Not really, I mean not on a regular basis. Of course I drink water, I tried Kumis/Kimiz and Boza too a couple times in my life, it's really good but I don't consume it regularly.

    more than drink, eat

    it's interesting the assumptions some people make. i envy the diet of my ancestors before 1800 (in some cases), ginger was grown in europe, hot peppers, people ate seafood. it's been homogenized continuously since the 1920s and especially during the self-destructive period of 1940s.


    eat organs, eat wild, you will be healthier

    Red/white/Rosé wine, Champagne, yes all the traditionals in the region and from around the country. We are not very high on beers, here it's more considered like an aperitif things, almost like sodas. Meanwhile we have those secret high percentage alcohol's liquor made of apple, pear, juniper, grillotte,.. sitting hidden in people's home for years that we open up for family's reunion, Christmas and all. It makes us spit fire and to be honest tastes more like gasoline than anything else but that's kind of a tradition to open them up once in a while late in the night.

    very interesting. these fruit liquors do you mean sweetish liqueurs from fruits steeped in alcohol or distilled like apple brandy? I used to make some sweet liqueurs from fruit or honey and herbs, but in the end i found most of them just ended up too prominently sweet to drink except yes, maybe once a year or so

    That's not bad, sometimes i drink that if my father buy a bottle of rum, but the best alcohol is still the red wine + cola, we call it "Jäger", even my father will be upset if i mix the wine with cola because i "humiliate" the wine
