Have you heard about the Auto brewery syndrome?

People with this condition actually get intoxicated and can act like drunkards, just by eating foods rich in carbohydrates

This condition is usually caused by the fermentation activities of some micro-organisms in the gut.

During some tests, it was noticed that some people with this condition even had 6 times more alcohol in their blood, as compared to the amount in the blood of an average drunk person.


Thankfully, this condition is rare.  It’s not everyday you get to learn that someone got “drunk”, just by eating a slice of yam
