But if no agriculture, no beer
Hear me out, could still collect psychedelic mushrooms.
if anarcho-primitism was a beer
That is a downside, true. Alcohol production, while not impossible, is way more difficult for nomads than it is for sedentary people. But there are plenty of other mind altering substances that would be available to your average hunter-gatherer. Psychedelic mushrooms are an option like RFKjr mentioned, but there's also evidence of nomadic hunter-gatherers engaging in a low intensity farming of tobacco and cannabis (planting it, leaving it, and returning for the harvest).
One of the only constants in history is that people like mind altering substances and will go to great lengths to procure them. Including inventing agricultural society and all the ills that come with that
We kinda screwed ourselves out of the psilocybes when we started migrating away from the tropics - sure, they're present in temperate climates but they're rarer and harder to find in quantity. Maybe we should go back in time and teach primitive Europeans how to inoculate straw bales.
you can still make liquor out of shit
