Just heard about this and it cracked me up, not a bad disease really.:lol:

" Auto-Brewery Syndrome: Apparently, You Can Make Beer In Your Gut This medical case may give a whole new meaning to the phrase "beer gut."
A 61-year-old man — with a history of home-brewing — stumbled into a Texas emergency room complaining of dizziness. Nurses ran a Breathalyzer test. And sure enough, the man's blood alcohol concentration was a whopping 0.37 percent, or almost five times the legal limit for driving in Texas.
There was just one hitch: The man said that he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol that day.

That's pretty damned weird!
 
I knew there was a reason I've been taking all those probiotics. Just waiting to find the right one. :lol:

....Yep and how long until we here of teenagers taking large quantities of antibiotics, downing some brewer's yeast, and then eating lots of food that will ferment in them for a new high? I give it 6 months until colleges are banning brewer's yeast like they do bath salt possession :shock:
 
As bizarre as this sounds, if it really is true it really is dangerous. The guy could keel over dead any time from alcohol poisoning. I hope to hell he doesn't have a driver's license!

I totally agree.

Just when you think that you've heard it all something like this comes along.

Some stuff that you wouldn't think is possible sometimes turns out to be possible.
 
I want the disease that allows my body to manufacture THC.
 
Good thing he didn't get pulled over by the cops on the way there. They would never buy that story.

I can see how it would happen. The human GI tract has several different bacterial strains, which aid in digestion and absorption. If you happen to have a specific variety of yeast in your gut, and the right bacteria for fermentation, then it's essentially a microbrewery in action. I'm sure it's quite rare, but theoretically, it could happen.
 
i'd rather not have that disorder. a baseline 0.37 BAC does not sound appealing.
