How to Drink All Night Without Getting Drunk
If you get yeast in your intestines and you're taking antibiotics, you can get what's called Auto-Brewery Syndrome. The yeast in your intestines starts to ferment sugars and you get drunk all the time.

How do antibiotics cause this? Do they kill off some of the intestinal flora that would normally digest the sugars?

Funny that you mention that. I sit 1 desk over from a doctor who brought that up as I was writing my earlier comment. We all had a good laugh.

Why is taking antibiotics relevant to this effect?
