The earliest form of depressant is alcohol, being made from fertilized grain, fruit, and honey from all the back to 6000 B.C. They appeared throughout many different cultures, like in Greece, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, India, China, ect. Alcohol was used as a drink and a way to celebrate. Around the sixteenth century it became widely used for medicine. In eighteenth century England, the production of alcohol increased drastically, with around 18 million gallons being produced. This lead to alcohol being more readily available for everyone, from rich to poor, resulting in extreme alcoholism. In the nineteenth century, the temperance movement came and changed peoples attitudes toward alcoholism. It encouraged a mentality of control over alcohol consumption but ended up with total prohibition. Prohibition only increased the consumption of alcohol, and prohibition was soon abolished. Today around 15 million Americans have alcoholism. After alcohol, one of the first capsule/pill form of depressant is said to originate around 1832, and was called chloral hydrate, and soon replaced alcohol as a medicinal depressant. Soon more medical depressants were made, and were soon abused by patients. Today, many abusers of depressants are teens, around 12 and older.
