Beer is one of the oldest beverages, possibly dating back to 6th millennium BCE, and is recorded in the written history of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.[4] The earliest known chemical evidence of beer dates to circa 3500–3100 BC.[5] As almost any substance containing carbohydrates, namely sugar or starch, can naturally undergo fermentation, it is likely that beer-like beverages were independently invented among various cultures throughout the world. The invention of bread and beer has been argued to be responsible for humanity's ability to develop technology and build civilization[6][7][8].
Beer produced before the Industrial Revolution was mainly made and sold on a domestic scale, although by the 7th century CE beer was also being produced and sold by European monasteries.
Today, the brewing industry is a huge global business, consisting of several multinational companies and many thousands of smaller producers ranging from brewpubs to regional breweries. More than 133 billion liters (35 billion gallons) are sold per year — producing total global revenues of $294.5 billion (£147.7 billion) in 2006.[10]
The industry is dominated by a few international players[11].
The acquisition of Miller Brewing by South African Breweries to form SABMiller made it the second-largest brewing company in 2002.

Originally consumed without any processing, the chewing of coca leaves was popular among South American natives long before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. The leaves were chewed in a manner consistent with modern use of coffee, chewed for a small burst of energy or stamina. The Spanish explorers noticed how the natives used the coca leaves and themselves partook in some cases, but the practice of chewing the raw leaves did not become especially popular among Europeans.
Coca's turning point in Europe came in 1860 when Albert Niemann extracted pure cocaine powder from coca leaves. This refinement allowed the use of cocaine in many different medicinal products and beverages, most notably Coca-Cola and Vin Mariani. Freud began experimenting with cocaine around this time, consuming small quantities to combat depression, sharing his experience with other European physicians who also found cocaine to be an effective topical anesthetic. Freud became a fervent supporter of the use of cocaine as an anti-depressant, even publishing a manuscript detailing its virtues. Conan Doyle stood alone in the late 19th century depicting the destructive qualities of cocaine in his consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.[2] As cocaine's popularity increased, health risks were noted and seized upon by American legislators, who made the substance all but illegal in 1916.

Houdini's magical training allowed him to expose frauds who had successfully fooled many scientists and academics. He was a member of a Scientific American committee, which offered a cash prize to any medium who could successfully demonstrate supernatural abilities. Thanks to the contributions and skepticism of Houdini and three others (there were five in the committee), the prize was never collected. As his fame as a "ghostbuster" grew, Houdini took to attending séances in disguise, accompanied by a reporter and police officer. Possibly the most famous medium whom he debunked was the Boston medium Mina Crandon, also known as "Margery." Houdini chronicled his debunking exploits in his book, A Magician Among the Spirits.
These activities cost Houdini the friendship of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle, a firm believer in spiritualism during his later years, refused to believe any of Houdini's exposés.
