Nick Hess, a man in the UK, suffers from an extremely rare syndrome, which makes him to get drunk off of carbohydrates. Basically, the man’s body converts carbohydrates into alcohol, so he can get drunk without having a sip of alcohol. Before Nick was diagnosed, his wife suspected him of having an alcohol problem. “We would be watching television … and by the end of the evening, he would start to be confused, and he would start slurring. And he did smell like he had alcohol on his breath. I went through the entire house looking for alcohol,” said the man’s wife.
