Ra (or Thoth) was said to have poured out beer dyed with red ochre or hematite so that it resembled blood when Hathor turned into Sekhmet to slaughter the enemies of Ra and had such bloodlust she would have killed all of manking. Mistaking the beer for blood, she became so drunk that she gave up the slaughter and returned peacefully to Ra.
