Abstract
As interest in Auto-Brewery Syndrome continues to grow, so do the questions from lawyers, forensic professionals, and expert witnesses about what the science actually shows and how it may apply in real-world cases.
This 47-minute companion presentation features Deandra Grant discussing the medical and legal foundations of Auto-Brewery Syndrome, followed by commentary from Jan Semenoff that connects the science to the four-part Counterpoint article series. Together, they explore the evolution of ABS research, the challenges of interpreting alcohol-related evidence, and the practical considerations for legal and forensic professionals evaluating these uncommon but increasingly recognized cases.
Whether you prefer to begin with the articles or the presentation, this companion video provides an accessible overview of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood topics in forensic alcohol science.
