First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how being in ketosis (a state from a very low-carb diet) changes the way the body processes alcohol and affects the brain. About 23 healthy adults will follow three different 3-day diets and then drink 4-5 alcoholic beverages. Researchers will use breath tests and MRI scans to measure alcohol levels and brain activity. The goal is to understand the interaction between diet, alcohol, and brain function.
