And indeedThe whites deliberately got the natives hooked on alcohol (and boy, many of them were predisposed to it, it seems). As then they had to exchange goods or labour to get more. Thus the whites subjugated some more peoples! Ironic Hooray!

No.The inner part of Aus is mostly arid desert, while Greenland and other places Eskimos live are obviously very cold. Neither place supports much plant life - certainly little that isn't either poisonous or doesn't have to be used for something else, like food or medicine - and as such there is little material to ferment.
