This also happens with birds and banyan trees and the berries. I am not sure if it also happens with seagrapes. Birds like doves like the berries and they can get tipsy.

"In addition, the badger was suffering from diarrhoea studded with cherry stones." I hate it when that happens.

Never mind drunk, most badgers are mean sober.

Poking a badger, drunk or sober, with a stick, is just a bad idea, and liable to leave you bandaged up before it’s over.

I got charged at once by a belligerent drunk groundhog who had been gorging on fallen apples. Fortunately, he was none too steady on his pegs, and he kept falling on his nose. I don’t think he appreciated my laughing at him either...
