There is no alcohol that cannot be linked to our natural world and assigned a genus & species. Every drink starts with a plant.

Bourbon? Zea mays, an overgrown grass.

Absinthe? Artemisia absinthium, a much misunderstood Mediterranean herb.

Beer? Humulus lupulus, a sticky climbing vine that happens to be a close cousin of cannabis.

Every bar or liquor store is essentially a fantastical greenhouse, the world's most exotic botanical garden, the sort of strange and overgrown conservatory we only encounter in our dreams.
