What this study is about
Researchers are testing whether a ketone ester can affect brain function and alcohol consumption in people who drink alcohol regularly. The trial will compare the effects of drinking the ketone ester to drinking a placebo that looks and tastes similar. Participants will undergo brain scans and complete an alcohol consumption paradigm after each drink.
