I agree that agriculture had its origins in addiction, but don't think it started with fermenting cereal grains to make alcohol. I think it started with people developing an addiction to opioid compounds in cereal grains. They probably learned about fermentation later.

I am sure you are right. But it is so much more effective propaganda versus the cooked-food-eating crowd to claim that cooking got started because people wanted to become  drunkards!

They still wanted a fix, just from a different set of chemicals. Opioids instead of alcohol.
