This gives new meaning to the term bar fight.
So-called "lager lout" wasps are attacking Britain after getting drunk drinking fermented fruit and leftover pub-garden cider, stinging anyone and everyone they can find, the Daily Mail reports.
The angry insects are getting into the booze since their normal diet, which consists of flies and sugar-spit that is produced from the queen's larvae, is scarce. The change in diet is said to happen every year but this year has been especially worse, due in large part to the unusually cold winter Britain experienced, letting the wasps build larger than normal nests.
Even just a small drop of alcohol is enough to make wasps angry and more likely to sting, say experts. It's the sugar that is attracting them, so other sugary foods and drinks, like soda, are also likely to attract wasps.
Shane Jones, who runs Ridtek Pest Control, said the wasps are aggressive this time of year, but the cold winter caused the wasp season to start six weeks earlier, making them a greater nuisance to people.
"Wasps have built absolutely massive nests and, now that all the larvae have grown up and the queen has stopped laying eggs, the colonies have a workforce with nothing to do – and nothing to eat. So they go down to the pub, obviously," Jones told the Daily Mail. "Wasps can't handle their booze, so they get tanked-up and fighty – like lager louts."

I just got a cocktail 3 minutes ago, give me time.
Oh, wasps, not WASPS!...................Never mind.
Further examples of White Privilege!
Nothing worse than mean drunks.
I dated a drunk once. He wasn’t mean, but the drink made him think he was in a lecture hall, and he’d get all professorial, and follow me around trying to convince me of whatever topic he had hit upon. Exhausting!
I remember the outdoor pubs there had a horrible problem with yellowjackets.
As one of old redneck buddies used to tell me, “I don’t drink much whiskey,when I drink whiskey,you cant tell me sh*t, but you can ask me anything you want to know”
They were drinking Stingers.
Drunk and irritable wasps are going on stinging rampages
Nothing a little DDT can’t fix.
just get a drone to fly patrol over the local pub. They’ll make a wasp smoothie:

I hate mean drunks.
Males dont have stingers so they arent stinging you.
All the rest of the wasps and hornets are assholes/bitches by nature.
Add liquor and you are just asking for trouble.
“Drunk and irritable wasps are going on stinging rampages”
it really doesn’t take much to get these evil creatures even angrier than normal ...
LOL!
LOL!
Revenge of the WASPs?
At least they don’t drink and drive.
Kerosene is more effective. And you don’t even have to light it.
