Add another ability to the human digestive system: It can brew its own beer.
Or at least it did in the case of a 61-year-old Texas husband, according to a report from NPR.
He’d go to church, for example, and come out dizzy. His wife got so suspicious, she bought a Breathalyzer. He wound up at a hospital, where his blood alcohol was found to be five times the Texas legal limit.
To determine if he was surreptitiously nipping, he was confined for a day without any access to alcohol – and still wound up drunk.
Apparently, the man had done some home-brewing and somehow his guts collected enough brewer’s yeast to turn ingested carbs into firewater.
