Is it safe to consume mead that is still fermenting? (fedia.io)

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?

Lots of drinks can be consumed this way, it is common here to drink wine (sold as "burčák"). So it is mostly ok, but some have diarrhea from it. I would say to don't drink too much of it, it can make some digestive problems but nothing serious.

As the saying here:

  • booze dilate veins
  • wine spreads legs
  • "burčák" spreads your butt
