NYP: ALBANY, N.Y. — Drunken-driving charges against an upstate New York woman have been dismissed based on an unusual defense: Her body is a brewery.
The woman was arrested while driving with a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit. She then discovered she has a rare condition called “auto-brewery syndrome,” in which her digestive system converts ordinary food into alcohol, her lawyer Joseph Marusak said in interviews this week. more here
So- are you walking around drunk all day? Sure would save money on beer.
I read this yesterday and followed up on it, I found a dude who is going through the same thing. Carbohydrates are mostly to blame, he would eat something sweet and then get hung over. The “buzz” apparently is not the same as if you had been drinking, it’s more of a cheap wine buzz that almost instantly turns into hangover city once the initial rush wears off. A normal dinner before taking off to bed with no alcohol then waking up in the morning hungover doesn’t sound like much fun.
But can she make bread? If so, gives new meaning to “bun in the oven”. Sorry, probably shouldn’t make fun of the condition…
Wow… a cheap date.
Give her Skittles and once they metabolize, she’s all about the Paaaar-tyyyy!
Poor woman, just one yeast infection after another.
Fine. Surrender your license to the Registrar, and you are now ineligible for any job that requires the operation of machinery.
Oh, and wear a “medicalert” bracelet so that everyone will be able to determine that you are not an asshole of your own free will and accord (Based on the old T shirt “Instant Asshole: Just Add Alcohol”).
bet she has awesome breath.
She must get alot of yeast infections
I’ve had this. Not fun, but it can be cured by taking caprilic acid to kill the yeast. I used to get very dizzy. Four times the legal limit? Bullshit….she was out drinking.
Somewhere there’s gotta be a head joke here…
Was she suffering from “Fermentia” and unable to distinguish right from left/wrong? No more ridiculous than “Affluenza”, I guess. Perhaps next time she gets drunk publicly she should just take off to Mexico with her Mom…
I’d tap that…………….
