welcome back gordon

would it mean that peoples who have the drive to seek  exogene alcohol could
be not in a position to produce their own alcohol.?

i have tendancy to believe that what is considered a healthy human gut might
be just a normal human gut , meaning a gut that have to deal with lot of
carbonhydrate intake . the production of alcohol in the gut might just be a
pathological one . In fact in severe case of candida overgrowth peoples get
really drunk from it .
water have a function and a place in the human body what is the function of
alcohol?
