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

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)

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)

@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)

IntentionallyDense, do you still intend to work on this article? No worries if not. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

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)

i've done some more trimming. Thank you! Tom B (talk) 23:30, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

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)

• I added two citation needed tags to the article. Since this is a MED article, I am a little more strict about getting all citation concerns resolved before making any declarations. No page size or sourcing concerns. Z1720 (talk) 15:32, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

  @Z1720 I have fixed both cn tags. The second was on a sentence that was categorically false, so thank you very much for tagging it. Toadspike [Talk] 12:53, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

  (After some digging, that sentence was added waaay back in 2008 , at which point it was probably true. Technology has since advanced significantly.) Toadspike [Talk] 22:21, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

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)

Semi-protected edit request on 20 February 2026

Change the name to alcoholism to alcohol use disorder (AUD) because this removes stigma on the illness please ☺️ Thanks! ~2026-11280-40 (talk) 01:37, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Disulfiram

Used as a punitive drug since the 50s to make people sick when consuming alcohol. Might have no effect, might end with the patient in the ICU.

Not a standard part of medical treatment nowadays. Very few patients qualify. ~2026-51633-93 (talk) 15:13, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
