Summary

This study looks at whether taking a ketone supplement before drinking alcohol changes how drunk people feel or how alcohol shows up in their breath or blood. Ten healthy volunteers will drink alcohol on two separate days, once with the supplement and once with a placebo. The goal is to understand if ketones can alter the body's response to alcohol, which could lead to future treatments for alcohol-related problems.
