Monday, 2 June 2025
Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS) is a rare condition where the digestive system produces ethanol from ingested carbohydrates, leading to intoxication without alcohol consumption.

Diagnosing ABS involves tracking symptoms, blood alcohol tests, and glucose challenge tests, as it significantly impacts patients' lives.
