There is the popular quote from I Testify Against The Jews, 1954, quoting The Constantinople Letter of 1489, which goes:
As for what you say about their making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christian lives.
We have other evidence as well. For example, the making of alcohol was originally purely medicinal; anything we now call alcohol was then called an elixir, and has early alchemical/voodoo roots. Most of the control over this came (((from the top))), such as the order ~500 years ago in Prussia/Germany banning medicinal elixirs, and requiring all elixirs to be made out of hops (which was known at the time to cause women who worked in hops fields to have periods early as well as develop larger breasts): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot
We are also told that the vikings were ravenous consumers of mead, while all historical evidence of the vikings is (((methodically destroyed))), so we have no way to know for ourselves. It is far more likely that they were sober nearly all of the time, and meads not made from honey were used for medicinal purposes, just like every other European culture.
Jews are literally finding new viking dig sites, then incinerating everything they find. When asked why, jews said the museums are full and they don't want artifacts on the black market.
Hit my anger limit for today, so that's all for now.
Not disputing this as a matter of fact, but this isn't what it was discovered as, nor historically used for. The claim itself is disputable though, as is it not recognized today that you could sustain yourself on beer.
I'd argue that this is what cooking, salting, pickling, canning, and freezing were all invented for, and they are all better alternatives.

I disagree. Small beer was very commonly used as a reliable water supply under conditions where plain water would potentially go bad. A certain amount of small beer (around 12 pints) was a part of many labourers' contracts.

I think that's a stretch. While alcohol was used for medicinal purposes (there's two examples in the Illiad alone) it was also used recreationally. In fact one of those examples is a hangover cure so they can get down to business after a night of heavy drinking.
