Summary

This study looks at how being in ketosis (a state where your body burns fat for fuel) changes the way alcohol affects your brain and body. Healthy adults will follow three different 3-day diets and then drink about 4-5 alcoholic beverages. Researchers will use breath tests and brain scans to measure alcohol levels and brain activity. The goal is to understand the interaction between diet, ketosis, and alcohol.
