Been wondering about this. I read somewhere that drinking mead while its fermenting was common practice in the old days.

However wouldnt it make you susceptible to developing a illness where your stomach begins to brew its own alcohol which causes you to be perpetually and mildly drunk?

I drink kombucha several times a week and it's still fermenting and haven't had an issue
