It is unlikely the monkeys feel the effects of the alcohol, according to the scientists. The thinking is that they would seek out the fermented fruit for its higher concentration of calories, which equates to more energy.
I sure they eat the fruit just for the calories, sure.
I bet they read MonkeyBoy for the articles too!
Scientists can be really stupid sometimes.
Kinda like drunken monkeys..........................
Never seen a Fat wild Monkey...................
Okay, I found evidence that alcohol has an effect on non humans, black bears in this case. The Black bear even had a preferred brand, and there is evidence he could tell beers apart by smell or can type. Smarter than the average bear.
