A man who claims his liver produces alcohol will have an NHS operation in an effort to prove his innocence of a drink drive charge.
Douglas Harvey was found to be four times over the alcohol limit when he was stopped by police on the A9 between Perth and Inverness last November.
But he denied the charge at Perth Sheriff Court and said he had only drunk a half pint of bitter and a pub measure of whisky, three hours before being tested.
Mr Harvey, 47, of Ladybank Road, Dunshelt, Fife, said carcinogenic chemicals had affected his liver so that it makes alcohol, which is released into his bloodstream.
Lucky bastard!
