#23: Auto-Brewery Syndrome
Every once in a while, many of us like to let loose and have a perfectly legal drink… But have you ever had the feeling that you had been drinking, even though you definitely hadn’t been? We know what you’re thinking, “How can anyone possibly get drunk without actually drinking alcohol?” well, this is how.
There was once a man in Texas who went into the ER claiming that he felt drunk, even though he was positive he hadn’t had a single drink. Many people thought that he might be trying to hide his drinking because this had happened for years… But it turns out he has something called “Auto-Brewery Syndrome,” which essentially means he gets drunk every time he eats carbs.
