ALCOHOL IS IN OUR GENES

It would seem that our early ancestors Foraged afar to find the freshest fruit But sometimes they would have to eat windfalls That were covered with that white fungal fur Which made the windfall fruit start to ferment And making alcohol from the sugars. Was this fermented fruit more popular, Perhaps providing them with much pleasure? Did fermented fruit become preferred food? Maybe over many millions of years Our human genes then slowly did evolve So we take to consuming alcohol.
