 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY BRIAN FINKE | | | Humanity's 9,000-year relationship with alcohol | | Millions of years ago, a shared ancestor of humans and apes evolved the ability to rapidly digest the alcohol in fermented fruit.

 | At the Theatre we queued
for hours, flasks of tea warming our palms,
bare knees cold, for one & sixpence tickets,
then stood at the back for a three hour play.
If our money stretched to two seats we sat
on each other’s knees the entire time. | Malika Booker
