Imagine being charged with a DUI when it's been hours since you've had a drink, only to later discover that your body brews its own alcohol.
That's what happened to an upstate New York woman when she blew a blood alcohol level more than four times the legal limit. Just before Christmas in Hamburg, New York, a judge dismissed the charges after being presented with evidence the woman suffers from "auto-brewery syndrome."
