• copy/paste (source Alcohols_(medicine)#Ancient_world):

Beer is one of the earliest known ingredients for wound healing. A medical prescription from Mesopotamia describes a method for healing wounds:{{cite journal |last1=Shah |first1=JB |title=The history of wound care. |journal=The Journal of the American College of Certified Wound Specialists |date=September 2011 |volume=3 |issue=3 |pages=65–6 |doi=10.1016/j.jcws.2012.04.002 |pmid=24525756|pmc=3601883 }}{{cite journal |url=https://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/abstract/2006/06001/a_brief_history_of_wound_care.4.aspx |doi=10.1097/01.prs.0000225429.76355.dd |title=A Brief History of Wound Care |date=2006 |journal=Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery |volume=117 |pages=6S–11S |pmid=16799371 | vauthors = Broughton G, Janis JE, Attinger CE |issue=7 Suppl }}

Pound together fur-turpentine, pine-turpentine, tamarisk, daisy, flour of inninnu strain; mix in milk and beer in a small copper pan; spread on skin; bind on him, and he shall recover.

:Wound healing is not anaesthesia? Would we expect to add any template to the articles for each of those ingredients? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:56, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:

• The article has several uncited statements, including entire paragraphs.
• I don't think the lead summarises all major aspects of the article.
• The formatting could be improved. Some sections are quite long and could be broken up with additional headings (my recommendations is four paragraphs maximum before a new heading) while the "Top-fermented beers" section has short one-or-two line paragraphs that should be merged together.

Is anyone willing to address these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

The first paragraph states "Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world, the most widely consumed, and the third most popular drink after water and tea."

Coffee is also more popular than beer, it is also arguable that soda and/or juice is also more popular. This can be found with simple Google inquiries. The sentence would be better off reading as "one of the most popular drinks in the world" instead. Retromegabit (talk) 09:25, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:OK, I'll fix it now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:28, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:Even if that's a fact that "can be found with simple Google inquiries", I think it needs to be supported somewhere in the article main body, with some RS sources? I can't find anything there at the moment. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
