So when he ate or drank a bunch of starch — a bagel, pasta or even a soda — the yeast fermented the sugars into ethanol, and he would get drunk. Essentially, he was brewing beer in his own gut. Cordell and McCarthy reported the case of "auto-brewery syndrome" a few months ago in the International Journal of Clinical Medicine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted September 19, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2013 Wow, drunk all the time! I guess if you take antibiotics and stopped eating carbs for a little while, it stops. Not sure you would want it to stop completely, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PissedOffLaxDude Posted September 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 19, 2013 Probably more cost effective than buying beer, but not quite as much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
