There’s nothing quite like the hazy buzz of being ever so slightly drunk. If only there was a way to permanently be in this state. There is; enter auto-brewery syndrome, where an overgrowth of yeast in the small intestine produces pure ethanol that is then absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
In other words, your body wants you to be drunk. All. The. Time. Maybe this is the next step in evolution? It certainly follows our logic regarding the best way to survive.
One man knows what this wonderland is like to live in. Matthew Hogg suffers from auto-brewery system. He becomes drunk off starchy or sugary foods, but rice is a main offender, as just one small portion produces the equivalent of three bottles of wine.
Could’ve done with that in our student days, three bottles of wine with your sweet and sour chicken? Sounds like the lazy persons perfect predrinks.
However as we all know, drinking too much defines the phrase ‘too much of a good thing’ to a T. And Matthew experienced the ugly side without the excuse of ‘it was the drink talking’.
“I’m usually quite a shy and quiet person and had a lot of friends at school, but there were times when I would act like a raging drunk by saying horrible things to people, slurring words, upsetting people and just stirring up trouble.”
Count yourself lucky that the only problems rice gives you is a bloated stomach. (Although our fingers are crossed that’s just the evolution in its early stages)
