“Active yeast. Like you get at the grocery store.”

Koch told me that for years he has swallowed your standard Fleischmann’s dry yeast before he drinks, stirring the white powdery substance in with some yogurt to make it more palatable.

You see, what Owades knew was that active dry yeast has an enzyme in it called alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH). Roughly put, ADH is able to break alcohol molecules down into their constituent parts of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Which is the same thing that happens when your body metabolizes alcohol in its liver. Owades realized if you also have that enzyme in your stomach when the alcohol first hits it, the ADH will begin breaking it down before it gets into your bloodstream and, thus, your brain.

It's like a reverse brewing process.

I wonder if this process gives you gas like there's no tomorrow.

What would be the point then?

Now, I admit that I typically don't empathize with the reasons why people would want to achieve various levels of intoxication - the reasons they'd want to alter their realities / moods / inhibitions / cognition. I recognize what some of those reasons are but, for instance, they rarely move me to drink myself. That said, if not to experience the intoxicating effects, why the hell would someone endure the various nasty tastes that come along with most of the traditional ways of getting alcohol into one's system?

I like to drink but I hate getting drunk, so if there were a way that I could suck down wine/beer all night without getting hammered, hell yeah!

O'Doul's, Kool Aid, Welch's grape juice....water...Ice tea...

Drinking without, in effect, alcohol, is like the blues being about the 'ol lady didn't leave me, the bills are all paid, kids are obedient and loving, the truck runs fine and the dog did not get run over.

"You're damn right I ain't got the blues...from my head down to my shoes...." Just not the same, is it?

Dunno. Would have to, I would think, given the metabolism process of breaking down alcohol??? I mean, it's all well and good and I love science but, I never, not once, wanted, in essence, an alcohol free beer. I take the same pleasures in alcohol that I do in fatty foods, sugary foods, caffeine and spices; it's what those things are.

"Oh, if you eat powdered whatever first, you can then eat ghost peppers all night long with none of the normal effects, like they're candy!"

Why?

Or you could bypass the stomach/liver all together.

I’m on a mission to explore slimming, defined by Urban Dictionary as “the vaginal or anal insertion of a liquor (usually vodka) soaked tampon for the purpose of rapid intoxication.”

First, by sidestepping the digestive system, alcohol can supposedly enter the blood stream—and get you blasted—faster. Slimmers also claim to bypass the intake of unwanted calories, and the stomach queasiness that too often leads to retching. For the under-21 set specifically, another advantage is that the practice limits the stench of one’s breath, making it easier to avoid detection. So the key to skirting the law might just rest beneath a girl’s skirt!
