Possibly. An overgrowth in the body of this yeast would raise blood alcohol levels, and possibly enough to cause drunkenness. However, usually, ingesting brewers yeast as a nutritional supplement will not result in this particular yeast overgrowing in the body. Overgrowth of brewers yeast could could occur though if someone is already quite ill, or has been taking a lot of antibiotics recently.

Be aware that brewers yeast isn't the only yeast that produces alcohol in the body. Certain other yeast will also produce alcohol. However, most yeast mainly produce acetaldehyde, which is the first breakdown product of alcohol. An overgrowth of yeast that produced acetaldehyde would make it more difficult for the body to eliminate ingested alcohol. Some people with this problem may thus notice that they get drunk on only a tiny amount of alcohol.

Use the link below to a report entitled Bladder Beer -- A new Clinical Observation by John H. Mulholland. It is about the presence and smell of alcohol in the urine, breath and bowel of people with yeast overgrowth.

Here is an interesting quote from that scientific report:

"the Japanese report the "auto-brewery syndrome" in which they have seen middle aged patients with bowel abnormalities, most often surgery, who have yeast in the GI tract and who ferment ingested carbohydrate, producing enough alcohol to result in drunkenness."

Why does adrenaline raise your blood alcohol level?

Adrenaline itself does not raise blood alcohol levels; rather, it can affect how the body processes alcohol. During stressful situations, adrenaline can stimulate the liver to release glucose and potentially influence the metabolism of alcohol. This can result in a temporary increase in the effects of alcohol in the system, making it feel like blood alcohol levels are higher. However, it's important to note that adrenaline does not actually increase the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream.

Why does drinking beer raise blood pressure?

Yes, at first. Alcohol has stimulant effects initially (that can raise blood pressure), but the more you drink, the more it begins to depress the central nervous system and then it is more likely to cause hypotension (low blood pressure).


Will rubbing hand sanitizer all the way up your arm several times raise your alcohol blood level?

No - the alcohol in hand sanitizer is very weak - just enough to make the fluid evaporate quickly after use. The alcohol would evaporate much quicker than your body could ever absorb it into your skin.
