Forensic Standards for Auto‑Brewery

Auto‑brewery syndrome (ABS) can cause clinically relevant blood alcohol without drinking, producing DUI and legal consequences. Create standardized forensic protocols: supervised carbohydrate challenges, continuous BAC monitoring, microbial sequencing of gut flora, and shared reporting templates to prevent wrongful prosecutions and improve diagnosis. — Standardizing diagnostic and evidentiary procedures would protect innocent people from criminalization, reduce stigma, and guide resource allocation for a poorly understood but high‑impact medical condition.
