And even so, there are even some other animal species that know about certain plants that would make them drunk! But most of the animals that get drunk, get to that condition accidentally, like this moose which got drunk after eating some fermented apples in Sweden. On that matter, how long have people known for opiates, hallucinogens, alcohol and all those mood-altering substances? It seems as long as the humans exist actually. But having in mind the huge amount of time human civilization exists, we can only imagine how many experiments and failed tries have there been, mixing and trying out new things until good drugs were not gotten.
Whether you are just experimenting, trying to make street drugs, out of curiosity or making them for yourself, you will maybe find surprising how some usual ingredients and plants can be used.
