History of Alcoholic Drink

History of Alcoholic Drink➤

         The accidental fermentation of a mixture of water and a sunlight is thought to have led to the first discovery of an alcoholic drink by a prehistoric people.Evidence of  intentionally fermented beverages exists in the form of Stone Age beer jugs dated as early as the Neolithic period (10,000B.C.E). Other jugs have been excavated in Southwest Asia and North Africa.

                  Alcoholic beverages have been an integral part of many,used as a source of nutrition, in meals, for celebrations, and also in religious ceremonies.Alcohol can give a sense of wellbeing,but also acts as a depressant, lowering behavioral inhibitions.

                Alcohol consumption became a status symbol for the wealthy. During the Middle Ages,concoctions were distilled to produce spirits.Alcohol has also served as a thirst quencher when water was polluted. In the 1700s, home-brewing processes were replaced by commercially made beer and wine, which became important for the economies of Europe.

               Beer was the first known alcoholic beverage,but many others have been produced since then. The chinese are thought to have produced yellow wine 4000 years ago. In Europe the monasteries owned the best vineyards; French monks produced a sparkling wine, which was named after the Champagne region of France. Brandy is supposed to have been accidentally discovered when a Dutch trader tried boiling wine "to remove the water and save cargo space ."

            Attitudes to alcohol consumption have varied over time and different countries have limited the hours when drinking establishments are open, or even banned the sale of Alcohol altogether, as Americans did in the prohibition ,between 1920 and 1923.

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

Antilock Braking System (ABS)             The Antilock Braking System (ABS) was designed by Frenchman Gabriel Voisin (1880-1973),originally as a way of preventing planes from swerving on landing. He first installed a system to keep airplane brakes from locking up 1920. Several decades later, after limited success with similar systems in cars a breakthrough came in 1978, when Mercedes-Benz announced the installation of electronic ABS in its S-Class car.              Theoretically, ABS can stop a serious car accident from occurring by allowing a driver to maintain control in slippery conditions or during an emergency stop. On an icy road, a car's wheels can lock up, sending the vehicle to spin. In cold cars that did not have ABS, drivers had to try to pump the brakes to prevent this. With ABS, the brakes are automatically pumped-the system senses the change in condition and alters the brake fluid pressure accordingly. Meanwhile the driver keeps his or her foot firmly on th
