I wouldn’t get too close to drunk chimps…

[Red Badger]

A full grown male chimp can rip you to pieces..........................

[Getready]

Unfettered speculation. Nice that we have so much money we (U.K.) can finance this study. Have already seen film of “drunk” animals(pre CGI, and AI)

It’ll no doubt end up with some late-night antelope tipping....

I thought it was gonna be a photo of Eric swallwell sharing alcohol with someone

“...Have already seen film of “drunk” animals.....”

Here we call it C-SPAN 1 & 2.................

Humans produce about 3 grams of ethanol per day through gut fermentation of sugars by bacteria in our gut.
Fun fact of the day.
Good point about the difference in cannabis based culture and ethanol base. Less fighting(and everything else) with cannabis plant abuse.

[Getready]

Good one....
....wonder how evolution taught man how to mass produce ethanol?

[Racketeer]

Hummingbirds prefer my “fermented” feeders.

[null and void]

Not drunks, just buzz buddies...

[CatHerd]

Heehee! And wildebeests beware! Too Good thing Jane Goodall isn’t still around or she’d be in for a panty raid!

[null and void]

Alcohol has played an incredible role in the growth of Western man

If it weren't for alcohol, half of us wouldn't even be here!

Weird, you should look into those Cannabis culture histories and current state.

[DownInFlames]

Just look at the hood apes in any dem city to see what their behavior would be.

[ansel12]

Funny but true, and not just from sex, but from the countless conversations of leaders over drinks, the meeting places, the inns and taverns, the feasts and celebrations.

[Vaduz]

Female chimpanzees know what the aftermath will be they head for isolated tree areas.

[CapnJack]

Good man! You set 'em up and I'll knock 'em back, Lloyd. One by one. "African chimp's burden", Lloyd, my man, African chimp's burden. I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of 'em. Best god-damn bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter."

[CatHerd]

Yeah, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian Horde were ever so peaceful. Must have been why they spread the “peace” of cannabis all over.

[monkeyshine]

I hope they don’t drink and swing.
