How did the earliest recorded society that consumed alcohol respond to it?

I apologize for my incredibly crass understanding of the subject, but I am wondering if there is any documentation that would show how alcohol was though of, if it was unhealthy for the body, whether that was something worth considering, if a social stigma developed etc....

In most places, alcohol predates recorded history. Is there a particular ancient culture's attitude towards beer, wine, etc. that you're interested?
