Default Want to get drunk without the drinking?

Start chowing down on brewers yeast and maybe you'll get an infection of them.

The patient had an infection with Saccharomyces cerevisiae(Brewers yeast), Cordell says. So when he ate or drank a bunch of starch — a bagel, pasta or even a soda — the yeast fermented the sugars into ethanol, and he would get drunk. Essentially, he was brewing beer in his own gut. Cordell and McCarthy reported the case of "auto-brewery syndrome" a few months ago in the International Journal of Clinical Medicine
