“I haven’t drank alcohol.”

The doctors interpretation:

“She’s clearly a drunk.”

Like I said elsewhere, a night in the hospital would have solved this immediately, but the doctor was unable to get past their own bias.

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.

[s1artibartfast]

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.
