A member asked:

I got a concussion a week ago and was told to avoid alcohol; however, i have been drinking large amounts of kombucha. i recently realized that this has trace amounts of achohol in it. i am concerned that this could have negative impacts on my brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax: I consider trace amounts to be insignificant in this situation. You would need to consume gallons of it daily to be significant.
