We make some alcohol via bacteria in our guts, and acetic acid from alcohols broken down by the liver is a necessary nutrient and percursor to Acetyl-CoA.
Quote:
The treatment for auto-brewery syndrome is a change in diet requiring low carbohydrates and high protein. Sugar is fermented into alcohol, and a diet that effectively lowers sugars also lowers the alcohol that can be fermented from it. Anything that causes an imbalance between the beneficial and harmful bacteria in the gut can help increase the chance that fermentation in the gut will develop. This can include not only antibiotics, but also overindulgence in sugars and carbohydrates. Watching what you eat could lower the risk of gut fermentation syndrome, and taking probiotics could further protect you by increasing the number of good bacteria in your system. ADH enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde:
CH3CH2OH + NAD+ → CH3CHO + NADH + H+
This allows the consumption of alcoholic beverages, but its evolutionary purpose is probably the breakdown of alcohols naturally contained in foods or produced by bacteria in the digestive tract.--Wiki

So if you're going to drink on low-carb, then clear liquors like Vodka are the safest in moderation of course. All Vodka starts out as NGS or medical grade alcohol. A commodity made/traded mainly in the Midwest where there is an abundance of grains like corn, rye, potatoes and wheat.
Distillers then try to further purify it to get out any remaining entraining agents like benzine or heptane. They usually filter it thru carbon like we do our hard Texas water in a Britta type filter. Care taken here determines the quality -- but not necessarily the price.
A lot of the "My vodka is better than your vodka" hype is just marketing, like Goose (you pay for the bottle) or Tito's (good, but no longer handmade) and hyping up the number of distillations used to 10 when 2-3 is plenty.
AnestasiA Vodka™ is likely the best out there and ZYR among the worst IMO, but new craft distilleries open almost daily  |
