A blood disorder can make a person appear intoxicated without drinking alcohol
A rare condition called methemoglobinemia prevents part of the blood’s hemoglobin from carrying oxygen normally. Severe cases can cause confusion, dizziness, poor coordination, and even loss of consciousness.
Surprising fact: Patients with this disorder can have unusually dark, chocolate-brown blood instead of the typical bright red color. Certain medications and chemical exposures can trigger the condition.
