Many of you may have already seen this, but knowing my interest in beer and homebrewing, several friends sent me a link to this article recently: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/20...rome-apparently-you-can-make-beer-in-your-gut

Briefly, a homebrewer in Texas has a Saccharomyces cerevisiae infection in his gut. The yeast ferments sugars the guy consumes to the point where he sometimes gets inebriated. Weird stuff.
