A Belgian man with a rare metabolic condition called auto-brewery syndrome (ABS) has had a drink-driving charge against him dismissed in court. ABS causes carbohydrates in the stomach to be fermented, resulting in elevated ethanol levels in the blood and signs of intoxication.

Trudi Warner, a 69-year-old protestor, has been spared legal action after holding up a placard outside a courtroom used by a jury.
