On: Auto-brewery syndrome in a 50-year-old woman

I don't disagree, but what you are missing is that those biases are correct 99.9999% of time.

It's unclear if the doctors she saw even knew that Auto Brewery syndrome existed.

Six nines? Really? Sounds like you need to show evidence of that claim.

Severe auto-brewery has been documented on the order of 20 times in the history of the western world. Thats why it is worth publishing a paper about, and why doctors dont suspect it, and might not even know about it.

How many people have have gone to the doctor and lied about their alcohol use? 6 nines is 1 a million patients. There are probably more nines than that.

Now you’re just mixing up sub groups and definitions to meet your criteria. Mine are simple: doctors should listen more.
