Nick Carson, 62, from Lowestoft, suffers from auto brewery syndrome, a disorder that causes his body to turn carbohydrates into alcohol.
He developed ABS in 2003 after being exposed to strong chemicals while at work, but it took him years to be diagnosed, after his wife saw the condition on an episode of TV drama Doc Martin.
He craves Victoria sponge cake, which leaves him so drunk he can pass out.
