One man was charged with drunken driving after crashing his truck and spilling 11,000 salmon onto a highway in Oregon.
Instead, he was diagnosed with a rare condition known as auto-brewery syndrome, in which a person's gut ferments carbohydrates into ethanol, effectively brewing alcohol inside the body.
This week, the man was acquitted of a drunken driving offense — he wasn't a boozer, the court found; his body was essentially making its own beer.
