Auto-Brewery Syndrome: The gut disorder that gets you drunk!

Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS) is a rare condition where the digestive system produces ethanol from ingested carbohydrates, leading to intoxication without alcohol consumption. This occurs due to yeast or bacterial overgrowth in the gut, fermenting sugars into alcohol. Diagnosing ABS involves tracking symptoms, blood alcohol tests, and glucose challenge tests, as it significantly impacts patients' lives.
