Well Sapiens likely consumed naturally fermented fruits even 200.000 years ago, after all we evolved to produce certain enzymes to digest ethanol.
Alcohol have shaped human cultures for thousand years, hardly unnatural.

By what you say, if whole of humanity consumed only naturally fermented fruit, I would half-heartedly agree.
Humans also don't "naturally" need to be writing fictions, or draw pictures or make movies. And conversely, murder is pretty natural - take a look at how often it happens in nature!
Whether something is "natural" or not is a bit irrelevant - the big question is whether the action should be acceptable for humans to do. Drinking alcohol affects the person drinking it, but it gives them some comfort, or happiness. As long as they don't drink so much that it harms another person, i say they can do what they wish!
Same with pot and other recreational drugs.

A staple food is something that makes up a dominant portion of one's diet; it's beyond a mere common or everyday food.
A staple food, food staple, or simply a staple, is a
food that is eaten routinely and in such quantities
that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard
diet for a given person or group of people, supplying
a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming
a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients
as well
I would certainly agree with you that alcohol is not a very safe choice for a staple food!
