Summary: Some people get drunk without drinking because their gut
bacteria produce alcohol from food. Researchers have now identified
the microbes and biological pathways behind this rare condition,
auto-brewery syndrome. Tests showed patients' gut samples produced far
more alcohol than those of healthy people. In one case, a fecal
transplant led to long-lasting symptom relief.
