re: #316 albusteve
speak English…who’s we?…was the poster saying Persians invented al-cohol to burn?
The ancient Greeks invented distillation, but did not do much with it. The Arabs & Persians then improved the process and used it to produce medicines, but not beverages. The process then spread to Spain & France in the 14th century where brandy was used first as a medicine, then later as a drink.
