It is actually a booze carousel. And then not anyway. A very rare condition allows a driver to be acquitted of a drink-driving charge.
The police breathalyzer was not wrong.
Nevertheless, a 40-year-old man from Belgium was still able to avoid a charge of drunk driving. In court, he proved that his body can produce alcohol itself.
The phenomenon is also known as auto-brewery syndrome. The Belgian's lawyer, Anse Ghesquiere, claims that similar cases have only been found in 20 people for.
CNN writes that.
On the other hand, the Belgian can get completely drunk without consuming alcohol. However, he first had to prove that in court.

When it was first established that a man can get drunk without consuming alcohol, the legal system also had to recognize that it is not something the law takes into account. The 40-year-old driver cannot therefore be punished for his traffic jam.
Therefore, the fine and the conditional disqualification he was sentenced to back in 2019 were also cancelled. The man allegedly did not know his condition at the time, but he must have known that he had not been drinking.
Because he chose to protest loudly about the booth. And it is only now that the courts have chosen to give him the right. There is nothing to come after.
The Belgians follow the same alcohol limit as we do here at home, namely 0.5 per thousand. Unlike the Belgians, however, the Danish law also contains a provision that driving a car with a blood alcohol level above 2.0 is insane.
In fact, the vast majority of the 3,200 cars that the Danish police have seized for speeding show that the individual driver has drunk too much. Read more about it here.
