When was alcohol invented or concocted?
I think it was more discovered than invented, since it occurs naturally in rotting fruits.
People have been making fairly strong alcoholic beverages for over 10,000 years, though, if I'm remembering correctly.

Native Americans and indigenous peoples in other parts of the world were introduced to alcohol recently relative to Europeans
Especially Navajo. Code talkers drink like the Irish ☘️

I think pretty much all human cultures had some version of wine, but distilled hard alcohol was a new experience for many peoples.

Yes
Thanks for being more specific and precise
