NOTES [56 words]: It probably goes without saying that neither beer nor ale is mentioned in the Bible, let alone in the Genesis story. (There is a town "Beer," but you can hardly drink a town!) The earliest mention of alcohol in any form is in Genesis 9:20, where Noah is said to have been the first to plant a vineyard; he gets drunk in the next verse. - RBW
