Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

"We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 km) northeast of Seattle.

The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.

It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.

Looks like whoever bought the beer passed out. The bear was there for the clean up.

That's my job.

Bet the bear definitely would have rather shared the brew with Bush rather than Kerry.

I think he chewed 1,400 aspirin and called in sick ...

actually there are some scary stories when bears coming poking around campsites, especially when they get the smell of any blood.

I've heard it's more dangerous for ladies to go camping, ummm, during that 'special' time of the month (to put it delicately). I don't know if this is really true or if it's an urban legend.
