Belgian man whose body makes its own alcohol cleared of drunk-driving

A Belgian man has been acquitted of drunk-driving because he has auto-brewery syndrome (ABS), an extremely rare condition whereby the body produces alcohol, his lawyer has said.

Why the hell would anyone do that? Is the condition dangerous to the patient? Sounds pretty awesome to me.

There breathing devices which interlock with the starter and are sometimes ordered by courts in this country. I'd be willing to bet Belgium has them...
