The penalty for driving under the influence of a woman in New York is torn apart. The reason: her body makes his own alcohol. Yes, it’s true.

The American teacher of 35 years old had four times the permitted amount of alcohol in her body in an alcohol screening involve. She was arrested and received a fine. But the judge has that fine is now torn, because he’s proven eight that the woman herself is alcohol creating in her body.

Now there is a condition in which auto-brewery syndrome is called. It is a brilliant excuse rare medical condition where something goes wrong in your digestion. As a result, the body produces ethanol, causing alcohol in your blood. The disorder is more frequently used as a defence in court proceedings.

To show that they have the condition, they are 18 days long daily in a breath test device is blown. Each time blew them a value of 0.20‰, while in the state of New York a maximum of 0.08 is allowed. The woman was not drunk and knew beforehand not that they have the condition. She was however so surprised that they tested positive on alcohol, that she decided to seek help. A specialized doctor showed the deviation at the woman, and they don’t have the penalty not to pay. Also, for the time being just keep driving.

That last we find what strange, by the way. That the woman did not know that they have the condition it had been one thing, but then you with a dangerous amount of alcohol in your blood should continue to drive we find what strange. Especially because with the condition all the normal symptoms of drunkenness just occur: dizziness, lack of coordinating ability, a hangover: all.
