[Sca-cooks] 1600 BC medical document

[Sharon Gordon]

Under the heading of Egyptian Era
at
http://www.fosters.com.au/beer/history/history_of_beer.asp
there is reference to this document:

People gathered in the evening to drink at a 'house of beer'. Beer was the
natural drink of the country, a basic in the diet of the nobility and of the
fellah (the peasant). As well as being a drink, beer was also used as
medicine. A medical document which was written in about 1,600 BC lists about
700 prescriptions of which about 100 contained the word 'beer'.

Does anyone know what document that might be?
