They took things a step further and collected urine samples from the wild monkeys which revealed the presence of metabolites from digested alcohol, I wouldn't want that job.

Birds go for fermented fruit all the time. They have a high alcohol tolerance, but do get drunk sometimes.

Yep. I’ve seen the birds flopping around under the choke cherry bushes a few times. Lol.

How much of this “research” was hands on? Tax money goes to get monkeys drunk? They could have given me a couple mill and I’d have told them why humans drink. Why? Because they like to.

Meh. A good ‘hunch punch’ consists of Hi-C, Graves grain alcohol, cherries, Mandarin orange slices. grapes, and pineapple tidbits, all fermented together for about 24 hours. The MOAB of party punches.

Yellow jackets get very aggression in the fall when fermented fruit is on the ground.

Animals do love a tot. and do get hung over.
In “Animals are Beautiful People” a movie by Jamie Uys, a gifted South African film maker are scenes of the animals’ annual binge on fermented Marulla berries.

Hysterically funny.

I wonder if there’s more or better sugar in it for them.

Yeah, don’t give the dog beer. At first they hate the smell and pull away but if they drink it, they’ll hear that low psst of the bottle cap opening a mile away and come running.
