Unexpected Alcohol Test Results: Pharmacist Reveals How You Can Test Positive Without Drinking
A recent viral video has brought to light the surprising possibility of testing positive for alcohol in a breathalyzer test without consuming alcoholic beverages. The video features a woman recounting her experience of registering a 0.11 alcohol level during a police check, despite having abstained from drinking. She expressed her disbelief, stating she had been working since 8 AM and it was 5 PM when the incident occurred. Following her account, a pharmacist, known online as Farmaceuticofernandez, provided a detailed explanation of potential causes. He highlighted that certain mouthwashes and throat sprays can contain significant amounts of alcohol, leading to a temporary positive reading. Additionally, food cooked with alcohol, even if most alcohol evaporates during cooking, can leave trace amounts. The pharmacist also introduced a rare medical condition known as 'auto-brewery syndrome,' where the body's digestive system ferments carbohydrates into alcohol, potentially causing intoxication without external alcohol intake. This phenomenon, while uncommon, offers a scientific basis for unexpected positive alcohol test results, prompting a broader discussion on factors influencing breathalyzer accuracy.
