I think my water kefir is making me drunk

Seriously. I'm on the wagon and I've got this approaching-vinegar water kefir. It's a great dessert. My stomach feels warm. Will I be able to work? Will my work actually be better? Time will tell.

DH is a recovering alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in nearly 20 years. He won't touch my water kefir, kombucha ... heck, he won't even touch Bach flower essences or herbal infusions that have .002 percent alcohol in them. If I told him my kefir was making me drunk, he'd pitch the stuff.

A nice warm feeling PLUS all the beneficial bactieria! Maybe you should start making cocktails out of the stuff!

I took it to a friend's house and she had rum in hers. She gave it high marks and claimed it was a health drink.

As it turned out, I didn't really get drunk, just warm.

My mom is also a recovering alcoholic and said kombucha made her feel "funny". She thinks it was the alcohol too. Well I'm a recovering sugar addict and sometimes wonder about the remaining sugar too...but not enough to stop drinking the stuff.

But actually, yes, I would get a little drunk from the bread kvass I would drink in Ukraine so I KNOW its not in her head!

Well, kvass has a lot of alcohol in it if you let it get that far.. :

Have you made kvass? I would love too but the black rye is so expensive here it would cost a fortune!
