Then, it spiralled into a dangerous syndrome where a man's gut essentially became a brewery fermenting its own endless alcohol supply - which is not as fun as it sounds. In a recent case study, doctors recount the strange symptoms of auto-brewery syndrome (ABS): a rarely diagnosed medical condition where simply ingesting carbohydrates can be enough to make you wildly inebriated.

At least, that was the case for the unfortunate 46-year-old patient in question, an otherwise healthy man who'd only ever been a light social drinker. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-man-s-gut-made-him-extremely-drunk-by-brewing-alcohol-when-he-ate-carbs 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
