Miscellaneous amused views on topics in the domains of neuropsychiatric epidemiology, defined broadly to encompass the entire envirome and genome, including infective agents; alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; traumatic events; you name it. Comments welcome. Will be moderated by a volunteer among one of our MSU program's chief fellows or alum.
I've watched enough PBS nature documentaries to know that animals occasionally ingest mind-altering foods. So earliest alcohol or drug use probably occurred with the very first humans. So I think Africa wins.

Don't forget China. There is evidence of "the earliest attested use" as well as "earliest chemically confirmed alcoholic beverage in the world".
