Wow. Ripley's Believe It or Not stuff right there.

How about the guy they linked, that (allegedly) had brewer's yeast in his stomach tract from homebrewing?

I've heard of the condition before, but I'm surprised she could go 35 years with random bouts of spontaneous drunkenness without being suspicious/concerned and seeking medical attention.

Sometimes my wife probably thinks my body is a brewery with as much as I drink.

My understanding was that this wasn't something congenital she would have had for 35 years, but rather something brought about environmentally, leading explanation I've seen is overuse of antibiotics taking out other digestive bacteria leading to an overabundance of yeast.

Also, there's already at least one other thread about this particular story, and several about the other one already previously mentioned in this thread.
