Remember that time you drank thirteen beers too many and blew it at your friend's baby shower? No? Well … everyone else does. But thankfully, we stumbled across a little-known trick that'll keep you sober, even at events where you and everyone else you know is downing beers to stay sane ( … like your friend's baby shower).

Remember that time you drank thirteen beers too many and blew it at your friend's baby shower? No? Well … everyone else does. But thankfully, we stumbled across a little-known trick that'll keep you sober, even at events where you and everyone else you know is downing beers to stay sane ( … like your friend's baby shower).

So what's this miraculous beer-hack? Eat one teaspoon of yeast per beer before you drink it.

This tip comes from Boston Beer Company founder Jim Koch, who recently said he uses this method to taste beer all the live-long day without getting shit-faced. He mixes the yeast with yogurt to make it more palatable, and has one before every beer. At the end of the day, he can drive home and kiss his wife without driving into a tree and kissing his wife's sister.

But, according to Jim, the yeast method will "mitigate, not eliminate, the effects of alcohol," so you'll probably still feel a little sassy after your 3rd Old English, but not "flash your girlfriend's dad while crying" sassy.

The method makes sense; yeast contains an enzyme called ADH, which breaks down alcohol in your liver, speeding up the conversion of beer into byproduct so you don't have time to get sloshed.

However, not everyone is sold. Critics of the method say that stomach PH is too low and body temperature is too high to activate the yeast, and that the sobering effect Jim feels is more of a placebo than anything else. But, Esquire writer Adam Goldfarb and biochemistry PhD Joseph Owades both tried it out, and found that the yeast method rendered the alcohol in the beer they were drinking useless. Both were much more sober than they expected after inhaling all that yeast.

But the question remains … who would want to drink beer without getting drunk? Oh, right. People who have to drive, people with "jobs" who "have to work tomorrow," and … children.
