There is limited information in the medical literature on auto-brewery syndrome, also known as gut-fermentation syndrome. This rare syndrome occurs because of yeast overgrowth in the gut, leading to fermentation of ethanol, thereby causing symptoms similar to alcohol intoxication without ingestion of alcohol.

From Google, so technically yes some people can?

I wouldn't say that counts as without alcohol if there's alcohol being produced in your gut

True I guess I was thinking more along the lines of not having to consume it yourself.
