Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:52, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited statements, including the entire "Short term effects" section. The lead might also need to be trimmed a bit. Z1720 (talk) 01:58, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please allow me some time to work on this article and the Asprin one as you’ve opened 3 medical GAR recently and these tend to be quite hard to track down citations for. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 07:42, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@IntentionallyDense: GARs tend to stay open as long as editors are working on them. Please provide periodic updates so that editors know that you are still making progress. Z1720 (talk) 13:33, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
IntentionallyDense, do you still intend to work on this article? No worries if not. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i do really hope to, there’s about 5 (guessing, i’m not sure) medical GARs open right now and i’m currently dealing with my own medical issues so i’ve come to the conclusion that i won’t have time to improve all of them but i do want to at least work on this one. I will try to remember to pop by and update people in about a week but if i don’t please feel free to tag me as this will be my first priority as soon as i am well enough.

Update: I'm slowly trying to pick away at the unsourced bits of the article and I did attempt to trim the lead but I don't think there is much more I can do there for now. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 05:12, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i've done some more trimming. Thank you! Tom B (talk) 23:30, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
People have added sources, e.g. for that section, so it looks like it's been brought up to standard, Tom B (talk) 23:31, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. @Toadspike: Sorry for the delay: I was reviewing another article. Citation concerns are resolved, no other concerns. Z1720 (talk) 01:31, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

American vs. British English

[edit]

This article appears to be written primarily in American English (as opposed to British English). I added a message to editors about this point.

As you edit the article, look for inconsistencies, such as using single quotation marks (British English) vs. double quotation marks (American English).

For example, some sentences in the Moderate drinking subsection use 'single quotes' (British English) instead of "double quotes" (American English):

Moderate drinking amongst people with alcohol dependence—often termed 'controlled drinking'—has been subject to significant controversy. Indeed, much of the skepticism toward the viability of moderate drinking goals stems from historical ideas about 'alcoholism', now replaced with 'alcohol use disorder' or alcohol dependence in most scientific contexts. A 2021 meta-analysis and systematic review of controlled drinking covering 22 studies concluded controlled drinking was a 'non-inferior' outcome to abstinence for many drinkers (citations omitted).

If you believe this article should use British English, please explain. Although I live in the United States, I actually prefer British conventions, so I'm open to either. We just need to be consistent.

Assuming you’re willing to convert things over, I believe it is best practice to try to stick with whatever style is used more and add a template (I’m not sure the template name off the top of my head sorry) IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 07:24, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That was my goal. Please correct any errors I might have made. Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/him] 11:20, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026

[edit]

The goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.

If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:

  1. Add yourself as a participant
  2. Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
  3. Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
  4. Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection

To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Native Americans

[edit]

From the description here about the evolution of alcoholism or alcohol consumption it would follow that all humanity developed a tolerance to it at some level. If that's the case why has alcohol consumption been so devastating for Native Americans? If the consumption of naturally occurring fermented fruit was the original food that introduced humans to alcohol then why don't Native Americans have more tolerance to alcohol? Seeing as we all came out of Africa, and therefore all of us would've eaten fruit that was fermented why is it that Native Americans cannot tolerate it well? I think it's because the agricultural revolution made fermentation of food much easier and much more common. After all, grains can be made into alcohol too, not just fruit. And the domestication of grain was an integral part of the agricultural revolution. Native Americans did not heavily rely on agriculture for the source of their food before contact with Europeans. Most tribes lived the lives of hunter-gatherers and while they did plant corn it was not on the scale that other societies, like European societies, relied on domesticated plants. And so Native Americans didn't build up a tolerance to alcohol the way societies did that relied on agricultural as their primary source of food. I don't think it was naturally occurring fermented fruit that built up a tolerance to alcohol in early humanity. I think it was the agricultural revolution that made alcohol readily available from the fruit in orchards and the grain in fields. ~2025-36456-77 (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
