Nick Hess from Columbus, Ohio has been getting drunk without drinking any alcohol at all. His wife did not believe him when he got hammered and said that not a drop had passed his lips - not many people would.

However, he wasn't lying - he has a rare syndrome called auto-brewery, which means that carbohydrates ferment into alcohol inside him.

His wife, Karen, was worried when he started stumbling around and slurring - which he does not remember doing.

The 35-year-old told The Mirror: “When she first accused me of being drunk, without drinking, I thought she was crazy. But friends and family thought, ‘maybe he is over there, drinking by himself, a secret alcoholic’.”

Karen Hess filmed him during one episode and he watched the video, shocked.

He said: “I looked into my eyes and could see I wasn’t there. It was terrifying, I couldn’t remember it.”

The afflicted man will appear on BBC Two World's Weirdest Events on Thursday. He controls his disease with a carb-free diet and medication.
