News you can use on a Friday, via an evolutionary explanation that humans are hard-wired to drink.
The explanation involves our fruit-eating primate ancestors smelling alcohol (via fermented fruit) out from a distance, thus developing a strong sense of scent. Once found, any of the fermented fruit was likely to be consumed on the spot, along with any other food within range, due to early cases of the munchies. We can only assume the World's very first hangover also happened around the same time.
