The court acquitted the accused in the drunk driving case following finding that the body itself produced alcohol. The court acquitted the young Belgian based on evidence. A 40-year-old man has been acquitted in court following it was discovered he suffered from a rare condition called ‘auto-brewery syndrome’ (ABS).
Autobrewery syndrome is a rare condition in which the body produces alcohol itself. The lawyer told the court that the 40-year-old man, arrested in a drink-driving case in Belgium, suffered from the same health problem. Then, as instructed by the court, 3 doctors examined him and confirmed the rare abdominal disease. The 40-year-old man was thus acquitted of the case.
In 2022, the police filed a complaint once morest a 40-year-old brewery employee for driving under the influence of alcohol. A breath analysis test showed a reading of 0.91 mg. A subsequent test taken a month later showed a reading of 0.71 mg. The police filed a complaint once morest the forty-year-old. A case was also registered once morest him in a similar incident in 2019. After having to pay a fine twice for a crime he did not commit, the young man decided to prove his innocence. His lawyer then took the case to court with evidence and acquitted the 40-year-old.
Abs is a rare condition also known as intestinal fermentation syndrome. When the level of ethanol in the body increases, the body state of a natural alcoholic is also found in people with this disease. People with ABS disease may experience fatigue, dizziness, and slurred speech. ABS was first reported in Japan in 1952.
