The culprit was gut fermentation syndrome, also known as auto-brewery syndrome. The man had been a home-brewer of beer and likely was regularly exposed to the brewer’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the fungus used to ferment beer. He probably acquired his own private brewery in 2004 after antibiotics treatment killed off his original intestinal flora and replaced it with brewer’s yeast. (Watch a video on the science of brewing.)

Now that it has been publicized some people will be trying to do it on purpose.   :screwloose:

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

So if they couldn't have cured the condition I suppose they'd have to replace his "tool" with a beer tap??

It does comfirm British suspicions as to the true source of some US beers....

The Klingons have many ways to fry a cat. I prefer to use an L7 Fast Battlecruiser!!

I think that Romulan Ale was reinvented.
