So, apparently there is this syndrome called fermentation syndrome or auto-brewery syndrome. Good or bad? Lol. The most current case comes courtesy of an unnamed 61-year-old Texas man who for five years seemed to be drunk - all of the time. His wife, a nurse gave him a Breathalyzer. He blew a .40 without drinking. Turns out, his belly was turning his food into booze lol |

Do sheep not get drunk when they eat a certain plant? Just ferments in their stomach

It's the first I heard of. So, if he got any DUIs prior would he be cleared?

Is this due to him being a long time beer drinker?

this is why its impossible to have zero tolerance on drinking and driving because everyone produces alcohol in their bodies...

@ peta - 20.09.13 - 07:34pm Poor thing.. Don't worry. It was rescued by the fire brigade, then spent several hours in a garden sleeping off the effects of the alcohol.
