☆ Belgian man whose body creates alcohol in rare condition acquitted of drunk driving
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

Brussels, Belgium CNN —A Belgian man was acquitted of drunk driving on Monday because he suffers from auto-brewery syndrome (ABS), a rare condition whereby the body produces alcohol, his lawyer said. Anse Ghesquiere told Reuters that in “another unfortunate coincidence” her client works at a brewery, but three doctors who independently examined him confirmed he suffered from ABS. The Bruges police court, which acquitted the man, did not immediately reply to an email from Reuters. Lisa Florin, clinical biologist with Belgian hospital AZ Sint-Lucas, explained that people with the condition produce the same type of alcohol as the one in alcoholic drinks but that they generally feel less of its effects. She added that people are not born with ABS but can get it when they already suffer from another intestine-related condition.

"I definitely have the dad bod a little bit," Mahomes, 28, said.

Stability training can help you build strength, prevent injury and even boost longevity. That's why slam ball exercises can translate well to strength in everyday activities like sports, jumping, and sprinting, according to Stonehouse. Medicine balls work your core and stabilityA medicine ball is often more compact than a slam ball, Stonehouse explained, and is bouncier while slam balls are softer to avoid a potentially risky rebound. Advertisement"It's a step back from a traditional stability ball, which is a full sphere and requires a great deal of stabilization," Stonehouse said. Emerging evidence suggests that working on balance and stability exercises can help you stay strong and prevent injury as you age.

U.S. safety regulators have upgraded their probe into Tesla vehicles over power steering loss to an engineering analysis - a required step before the agency could demand a potential recall.

"It's hard to find bad news in Australia's October inflation print," said Harry Murphy Cruise, an economist at Moody’s Analytics. Prices for tradable goods fell 1.6% in October from a month earlier.
