It didn't. Anyone who knows anything knows that alcoholic beverages were used for a long time before teas and coffee became popular. Teas and coffee became popular in Europe during the 17th century. Until then, alcoholic beverages were 1) a really good way to store crops, and 2) were generally safer than water.
Of course it's easy to produce and nearly every culture invented alchol of varying degrees of potency. It's such a useful substance for a variety of circumstances. If ethanol didnt exist I honestly thing we would only be in the iron age by now if not lower on the tech tree.
Drunk sex.?
