Since ethanol (alcohol) is metabolised into Acethyl-CoA (ketone body), I wonder whether small amounts of hard liquor (low-carb alcohol) will help to induce ketosis more quickly during one day fast.
Will ethanol help me to reach ketosis faster during a brief fast?

No clue, but if you drink it quick on an empty stomach I promise you won’t care if it does or doesn’t ;).

I misread your question, but I can tell you that at shot of 198proof pure grain alcohol +30minutes my ketone level has gone from 1.4 to 1.8. And I was absolutely correct that I really don’t care if it goes higher or lower ;). Glad to be of service.
