First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at how a single dose of a ketone drink or alcohol affects brain chemistry using MRI scans. Sixty adults who drink alcohol occasionally will each have three separate MRI visits: after a ketone drink, after an alcoholic drink, and with no drink. The goal is to measure changes in key brain chemicals, not to treat any disease.
