I remember a guy on Reddit asking if boofing yeast would induce this, as he wanted to be drunk all the time but didn't like how expensive alcohol was. I wonder if he ever achieved his goal.

I remember a post about a nightmare of a roommate who successfully induced ABS via boofed yeast, and the hell that ensued. Said roommate had a history of various hard drug abuse. I wonder if they're related.

It would've been much easier for him to just brew his own alcohol outside of his body. Sugarwine with turbo yeast can't be too expensive. A bag of sugar and turboyeast, less than a fiver, and you'd make some 5 gallons of ~14-18% alc sugarwine (aka kilju).
