Driver with rare auto-brewery disease acquitted of drink-driving

AutoExec Summary
A Belgian motorist with a rare medical condition that causes his body to produce its own alcohol had a drink-driving charge dismissed. The 40-year-old man suffers from auto brewery syndrome, which increases ethanol levels in his blood. Despite registering high breathalyser readings, the judge noted he did not show signs of intoxication and was acquitted. The man, who works at a brewery, was unaware of his condition before being pulled over. He is now following a carbohydrate-light diet to manage his condition.
