SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday. "We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Seattle. The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds. It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge. Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson. They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.

I cannot BELIEVE the level of heartlessness that appears on this boarde. I am the bear's sister, and none of you know him and I can't believe you saysuch horrible things... Festus is a SWEET bear, you never met a nicer bear or one more willing to help out, and now you sit here and sit injudgement on him. WHERE is the love?!?!?!!!!! If you knew the real story you wouldn't be so QUICK to CONDEMN. Festus has a hard working life, like so many bears, and if he wants to "UNWIND" by drinking a few who are YOU to tell him no? Hypocrits. Hey sis thanks for the support but please stop telling people I'm a bear. I'm just introverted.

"See that bear lappin' up that good old country water? Sure makes a big hairy guy like me thirsty. That's when I wrap my lips around a tall, sweaty, edible bottle of good ol' country Bear Whiz Beer. As my daddy said, "Son, it's in the water. That's why it's yellow."

Wonder if the poor passed out plastered bear just wet himself?
Ron White does a hysterical comedy bit about drinking that much beer and floating down a river. Not sure if you're familiar with Tater Salad's body of work.
