Do you know what's almost as addictive as booze?

As alcoholics, we become very, very comfortable in chaos.
We thrive in it. - Right. Oh.

but in rare cases, over time,
it can lead to a condition called auto brewery syndrome.
- Auto brewery? Yes. Essentially,
the sugars in your blood get converted into ethyl alcohol,
which causes the patient to become drunk.

Leave it to my brother to find a loophole.
- Talk about a free-lapse. So what's the treatment?

We just need to flush his system out with an I.V.,
pump him full of nutrients, electrolytes, and anti-fungals.

Potato chips.

tikka-masala-flavored crisp.
And on my mind was blown, because they were so good.
And every day after school, I would--
I'd buy a big bag, you know,
and I'd tell myself, I'm just gonna have a couple.
I'm not gonna have the whole thing.
And then every day
I would go absolutely mad.
I'd gorge myself.
I'd made myself sick.
