In theory, if one gorges on sugar and yeast one can become drunk. A candy can be produced that is loaded with dry brewers yeast. Once the yeast have been introduced to the warmth and dampness of the human digestive tract they will begin their metabolic processes. Some amount of calcium carbonate antacid
may be included to allow more yeast to survive the stomach.

A good starting point, perhaps. [tatterdemalion, May 30 2012]

You'll have people queuing up to drink piss with you. |
|
| |
You can drink straight from the tap. |
|
| |
For that bun, I presume it's yours. We're talking about yeast piss right? It's your context you decide. |
|
| |
If you did this and it worked and didn't kill you with
alcohol poisoning then you'd probably end up
producing some kind of overproof urine. |
|
| |
There is a fuel shortage. Not to mention overpopulation. |
|
| |
Could be a solution. Try it on your southern
neighbours. |
|
| |
I'd have to do some market research to find out if they like candy and booze. |
|
| |
I could be wrong, but wouldn't the relatively hostile environment in your stomach be apt to kill the vast majority, if not all of the yeast before they could metabolize the sugar, regardless of antacid? I brew beer occasionally, and sterilizing everything is very important, mostly because the yeast is so sensitive.
The yeast would also be producing CO2 in your gut. Could make for some hilarious sustained burping... |

Hello new person [Phaideaux]! |

Took the words outta my mouth, xandry. |

Yeast may not be necessary; other organisms produce alcohol as their waste product (in wine, for example). Many years ago, before the Internet, I read about a medical case where some poor/lucky (depending on perspective) fellow was getting drunk every time he ate something starchy. He basically embodied this Idea. Except I don't know which particular microorganism was involved; it might not have been yeast. |

yeast is pretty much the prime suspect for any efficient production of ethanol. |

I'm seeing double already. |

I've accidentally swallowed a little petrol in my time.
Syphoning from a drum, to refuel vehicles in remote
areas... you get some really nasty petrol burps for the
next 12 hours or so. |
|
| |
This might be disgusting for you, but I've heard that in Soviet Union, the Moscow taxi drivers used to use clysters filled with ethanol water solution, injecting ethanol directly into rectum. Reportedly, this used to perplex their militia (soviet police)... Pretty straightforward, huh? |
|
| |
I was basing the idea on "gorging" on the candy, not a teaspoon. That's stuffed with the candy from gullet to toilet. |
|
| |
An interesting idea, certainlt y. [+]. |
|
| |
The real question that remains, of course, is whether the burps would trip the breathalyser machines the police use? |
|
| |
I think the question is more of whether the burps would
trip the breathalyzer before they'd even pulled you over.
Chomping down a handful of these would turn anyone into
a self-mobile microbrewery. Off-gassing would be
inevitable and impressive even upwind. |
|
| |
The high pH in the stomach would be rough on the poor yeast. Enteric coated capsules would get the yeast thru to more hospitable climes as regard pH but I think the body would have sucked up most simple sugars. One would need to suppress stomach acid for this to work, I think. |
|
| |
If something like this could be produced it could be beneficial for severe alcoholics who become malnurished drinking - these nutritious candies would get tham drunk and feed them. |
