You’d be surprised to find out that a 61-year-old woman’s bladder was able to turn sugar into alcohol. Some may say she’s a goddess, but she’s just a woman who needed a liver transplant due to her ongoing condition, cirrhosis.

She took many urine tests that were all positive for alcohol when she didn’t drink at all, not even a sip. She repeatedly told the doctors that she didn’t put her mouth on any alcoholic beverages, but her doctors refused to believe her.

Those who suffer from this extremely rare condition can get drunk from consuming carbs. Imagine eating a burger and feeling dizzy afterward. Crazy, right?

However, back to our lady… Her bizarre medical condition is so rare that it doesn’t have a name. Her doctors called it for the moment ‘urinary auto-brewery syndrome.’
