Never heard of anyone getting drunk on bread. Never heard of anyone beating his wife, his dog, his child, or killing someone after eating a loaf of bread. Never known anyone to be arrested for public drunkness or making an idiot out of themselves after eating a few slices of bread. Not in modern times. In the middle ages and prior, ergotism from eating bread was relatively common.
