The fermentation process was the wests way of providing a ready supply of a sterilised liquid other than the disease ridden water they had back then.

The westerners developed an immunity to the alcohol content of their drinks and can now drinks vast amounts. Our liver and the primeval part of our brains that makes us gorge ourselves in times of plenty, have not kept up with the immune system. The excuses for the gluttony have far exceeded it though, to the point that one part of the brain can fool another.
