History
The production and consumption of Slozo in Corumm dates back to the prehistoric era when the domestication of donkeys took place. Archeologists have found many examples of ancient milk drinking bowls, jugs and milking pails in the sites of the Taunga culture. The milk drawn from the donkey's udder would then be placed inside animal skins and left to ferment, while another portion might be churned with a stick and turned into a butter like substance. At this stage in its development, Slozo would not be an alcoholic drink. The traditions of Slozo making clearly made out of Old Night into the Shang era and beyond. With the advent of rice and cane based alcohols, which were usually drinks of the middle and upper classes, Slozo was left as a niche weaker drink for the poorer classes, made only in small batches by local farmers. It is during the Shang era when the alcoholic properties of corn based ethanol were discovered and the adding of ethanol to Slozo began. The resulting alcoholic content made it comparable to the other beverages of the time. The recurrence of droughts and the resulting limits on the planting of rice due to its high water consumption led to the greater planting of corn and thus ethanol. Alcoholic Slozo became a much more widely consumed drink around the late 600's.
