Drunk....forever??? By: Adrienne Healy

Most people would start to get a little cross eyed after a few drinks but what about when you don't drink at all but still feel "drunk". 61 year old texas man suffered from a disease called got fermentation syndrome. For the past five years he would seem to be drunk all the time even when he didn't drink. "Only a few cases have been reported in the last three decades" according to Dr. Barbara Cordell, the dean of nursing at Panola College in Carthage, Texas, and Dr. Justin McCarthy, a Lubbock gastroenterologist, the study's authors. His wife would start to give in breathalyzers every day he would hit up to as high as 0.40 without have even a small sip. Drs. claims that he was a "closet drinker" but after several test they found out that stomach was turning his food into alcohol causing him to become drunk. After 24 hours under watch they were finally able to get all of the booze out of his stomach....but what I would like to know is will it ever come back??
