Mid 17th century (in an earlier sense). Partly (i) from (a) French alcoolisation (1628 or earlier as †alcoholisation in the obsolete sense ‘pulverization’; also †alkoholisation; now chiefly in senses ‘development of properties characteristic to alcohol’, ‘action of mixing (a liquid) with alcohol’).
