We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

7 Up — The entry states the drink was launched 'a year before the Wall Street crash of 1929,' but 7 Up was introduced in 1929, the same year as the crash, not a year before.
7 Up — The entry claims 'the name was changed to just '7 Up' in 1937,' but the brand was always called 7 Up, and 'Lithiated' was dropped from the name later, not a full name change.
Absinthe — The entry states that absinthe was banned by 1905 in Belgium, the United States, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria-Hungary, but the actual ban dates are: Belgium 1905, United States 1912, Netherlands 1909, Switzerland 1910, Austria-Hungary 1912.
Absinthe — The entry implies that Swiss farmer Jean Lanfray murdered his family solely due to absinthe, but he had also consumed other alcohol and the causal link is historically disputed.
Ale — The entry states that in 1272, a husband and wife who retired at Selby Abbey were given 2 gallons of ale per day, but the phrasing 'retired at Selby Abbey' is misleading; they were corrodians receiving a corrody, not simply retirees.
Applejack (drink) — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states applejack was first produced around 1780, but the correct earliest documented Laird family production is 1698.
Applejack (drink) — The 'LORE' section incorrectly states that the gift of applejack to Alexei Kosygin is unsubstantiated; historical records confirm LBJ did gift Laird's Applejack at the 1967 Glassboro Summit.
