What did people do before coffee? Seriously, how did they drag themselves out of bed and hop on a horse, or a donkey, or just their own two feet, without an espresso to kickstart their brains? Well, funny enough, for a long time, they just drank alcohol. Yep—morning, noon, and night, people were sipping beer and wine like it was water. Because, in many cases, it was the safer option.

You see, back in the day, no one knew about bacteria, but they did know that drinking dirty water often led to a miserable, possibly fatal, case of something awful. However, fermented drinks—beer and wine—didn't seem to cause the same issues. People didn't realize that alcohol was killing off bacteria, they just noticed that sticking to booze kept them alive. So, for centuries, people were walking around in a permanent state of light buzz (or full-blown tipsiness).

It wasn't until coffee and tea became widespread that humans finally had a safe, non-alcoholic alternative. Once again, they didn't know why boiled water was safer, they just knew that coffee and tea didn't make them sick. So, in a way, coffee didn't just wake people up—it literally sobered up civilization. Which, honestly, might explain why the Renaissance happened when it did.
