Unravelling the mystery of autobrewery syndrome

A medical report of two cases from 1984 highlighted another culprit – yeasts living in the patients' digestive tract. Recently, other studies have also shown that the increased risk of auto-wine-making syndrome is usually the result of the superposition of multiple factors. Various fungi and bacteria that produce alcohol combine together, which will eventually lead to excessive alcohol production in the human body.
