Guy gets drunk without drinking... But how??
A 61 year old man in Texas walked into a hospital hammered drunk claiming that he had not had a drink all day. Doctors did not believe that he hadn’t been drinking, because after a blood test, he had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.37 percent- which is almost 5 times the legal driving limit in the state of Texas!
Because doctors believed his to be a closet drinker- they placed him in a monitoring room for 24 hours, and it was discovered that he had Saccharomyces cerevisiae -- a common yeast in his belly. His stomach would automatically ferment the sugars in Carbohydrate-rich foods he ate into ethanol.
As awesome as this sounds- it was incredibly unhealthy- and with the right medications and diet, his problems were solved.
