I live in Sarasota, FL. I read that butterflies like beer though they drink it through their feet. I put it out in saucers with pebbles. The results make me think that possums or racoons are drinking the beer cuz the pebbles are always pushed out of the saucer. Maybe I’ll put some Miller Lite in the saucers; even a possum wouldn’t like that crap, would it?

Speaking of possums and raccoons, the coonies have been digging up my garden. They scoop a plant up — or dig to the roots — looking for grubs. I come out in the morning, it is like a drunken teddybear’s picnic. Plants tossed hither and yon, roses with bare roots.

Anyone have any good ideas re getting rid of them? I am close to sitting out with my pump shotgun, altho we are in Los Angeles. Last year they ate the corn OFF the cob, before it was harvested.

I think you are right. I wonder, do you think they would like Rolling Rock?
