Whoever discovered alcohol was the first chemist. Whoever got drunk on it, the first addict. They could be the same.

How does drinking|eating naturally fermented fruit or grains make someone a chemist?
You understand that elephants "discovered" alcohol also, does that make elephants chemists?
Even recreating the natural process on demand later on barely rates as "chemistry" given the lack of any need to understand the process.
