Does it stop hangovers though?

Also, if the alcohol dehydrogenase in those yeasts he eats breaks down the alcohol faster than your body can eliminate the byproducts, mainly acetaldehyde, then presumably you'll end up with an excess dose of that, which is then further oxidized to acetic acid.

With all those toxic chemicals swilling about to excess in your body, no wonder companies are concerned about the potential liabilities of the daft idea.

how to not get drunk on a night out

https://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-livi...212500989.html

I've not tried it but looking forward to CUKer's feedback

Doesn't work. Both Yeast and the ADH enzyme need a balanced to alkali ph level to be viable. ph in the stomach is 1-2. The yeast will die and the ADH be broken down by the acid long before it does anything to the alcohol.

"He reached in his bag and withdrew a Perfect Pint glass, the shapely, angle-rimmed piece of glassware his brewery helped design back in 2007 and sent the waiter back to the tap" - I'd like to see him try that in a real British pub

I was actually hoping for feedback after someone had tried the method.

I heard that when people go visit MFs wife they eat quite a bit of yeast. Sometimes there may be yoghurt applied too.

That's only because you are not drinking enough. Just drink more to forget the effects.

A beer flavoured ponzi scheme. I would like it except it'll always be me whos left with the mess after it collapses.

But homebrew also makes you drunk.

Indeed, and at 40p/pint is worth the trouser rotting farts. But not at the clientco. Weekend only activity.

I love beer, but the older I get the harder it is to enjoy a few without feeling the effects

See previous. Yes (think homebrew).

I want to know if eating the yeast makes you fart too.

Say after a CUK grubclub outing....

That's a good point - if not then stopping you from getting drunk could lead to a ten pint hangover without you realising.

The farts. Oh dear god, the farts. Trouser spoiling farts.

For that reason, I'm out.

What's the point? You might as well drink alcohol free beer.

That misses the whole point. Alcohol is in beer because without it it doesn't taste like beer.
