For thousands of years, yeast has been used to *create* alcohol, not eliminate it. The viral claim that consuming active dry yeast before drinking can counteract alcohol is scientifically implausible and widely debunked.

Studies show that, on average, men metabolize alcohol faster than women due to key biological differences. Factors like enzyme levels, body water content, and body fat percentage all contribute to the disparity in how quickly a person processes alcohol.

According to studies, men possess significantly higher levels of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) compared to women, an enzyme that begins breaking down alcohol in the stomach before it enters the bloodstream. This fundamental enzymatic difference is one of the key biological reasons why men metabolize alcohol better than their female counterparts.
