Answer 1

As both a hobbyist baker and brewer, I can confirm that in (carelessly excessive) large quantities, active yeast can produce alarming amounts of gas and small quantities of alcohol in your system.

Don’t eat uncooked yeasted dough or drink actively fermenting beer and you shouldn’t ever run into that problem.
