In 2014, a 46-year-old man who was booked for drunk driving as he was five times over the limit, had an extremely rare condition called 'Auto Brewery Syndrome' (ABS).

According to a Daily Mail report, the man was diagnosed with the condition in 2017 after he
saw a specialist at Richmond University Medical Center in New York. The man had high levels of fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae in his gut. The fungus is also known as brewer's yeast because it is used to convert the carbohydrates present in food grains to alcohol.
