It began as a simple thumb injury. Then, it spiralled into a dangerous syndrome where a man's gut essentially became a brewery fermenting its own endless alcohol supply - which is not as fun as it sounds. 一开始只是拇指受伤，后来迅速演变成一种危险的综合征，一个男人的肠道基本变成了啤酒厂，源源不断地自己酿酒，但其实没有听起来这么有趣。 In a recent case study, doctors recount the strange symptoms of auto-brewery syndrome (ABS): a rarely diagnosed medical condition where simply ingesting carbohydrates can be enough to make you wildly inebriated. Even worse, nobody believes you when you say you haven't been drinking. 在最近的一个案例研究中医生讲述了自动酿酒综合征（ABS）的奇怪症状，这是一例罕见的疾病，仅仅摄入碳水化合物就足以让你酩酊大醉。更糟糕的是，你说自己没喝酒还没人信。 At least, that was the case for the unfortunate 46-year-old patient in question, an otherwise healthy man who'd only ever been a light social drinker. 至少医生讨论的这个46岁的病人就不幸地遇到了这种情况。之前他很健康，只在社交场合少量饮酒。 His troubles began in 2011, after he completed a course of antibiotics for a thumb injury. Within one week of finishing the meds, he reported experiencing uncharacteristic personality changes, including depression, 'brain fog', aggressive behaviour, and memory loss. |
