Summary
This study looked at whether drinking calvados (a strong apple brandy) during a high-calorie festive meal helps with digestion, as some people believe. Eight healthy volunteers ate a large meal and either had water or calvados with sorbet in the middle. Researchers used ultrasound to measure how fast the stomach emptied and asked about discomfort. The goal was to see if the alcohol actually speeds up or slows down digestion.
