英国男子得怪病 吃薯条也会喝醉？！

We all wish there were cheaper, easier ways to get drunk.

我们都希望更廉价，更便捷的醉生梦死过去。

However one British man has revealed how he can get drunk by simply eating chips or mashed potatoes.

但是有一个英国男子爆料：自己是如何简简单单吃吃薯条啃啃马铃薯就“醉死过去的。

Nick Hess suffers from ‘auto-brewery syndrome’, which means his stomach has anovergrowth of yeast which turns any carbohydrates he eats into alcohol.

尼克·赫斯患有“自动酿酒厂症候群，得这种病意味着他胃里的酵母过多，导致任何他吃下去的糖分都会变成酒精。

For years Nick would wake up feeling sick, or often suddenly feel drunk after meals.

多年以来，尼克醒来的时候都觉得很难受，常常吃个饭就醉倒了。

His wife even started searching the house for bottles, convinced he was a secret alcoholic.

他的妻子甚至开始满屋子搜罗酒瓶，深信不疑她丈夫就是个“隐性酒鬼。

Friends often thought he was drunk even when no alcohol had passed his lips.

朋友们也都常常觉得他喝醉了，明明他嘴唇上滴酒未沾。

While in hospital, and still under suspicion of being a closeted alcoholic, Nick was feed a meal heavy in carbs which caused his blood alcohol level to shoot up to 120 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood – which is the equivilant of doing seven straight shots of whiskey.

在医院里，仍有秘密酒鬼嫌疑的情况下，尼克吃下一大顿碳水化合物，从而引起他血液中的酒精量飙升至120毫克/100毫升——完全等同于喝下7大瓶威士忌啊。

After being diagnosed he was given anti-fungal drugs and put on a low carb diet to combat the condition, however he still experiences one or two episodes a month.

诊断之后，他领了一些坑真菌药物并吃低碳水化合物来对抗病症，但是一个月他还是要发病1、2次。
