So do all wild mammals that live near fruit bearing trees I’m sure. That’s kind of the gig. It’s not like they’re cultivating their food or checking for spoilage. They’re opportunistic feeders, so fruit on the ground that isn’t overly spoiled is going to be a meal.

Ever seen drunk Deer or Moose?

Ever seen a drunk deer or moose

I have not. But please go on

Poor guys probably don’t even realize what’s going on
Deer have been observed intentionally stomping on windfallen fruit and returning days later to eat it and get drunk. I think they know what they are doing, it’s just fun.
Ah so they can’t plead ignorance. Sneaky fellas
So… like nearly everybody who shot glass shells at the command bridge?
1974 documentary “Animals Are Beautiful People” had a scene where various african animals get drunk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBUwKBrNgm8

My thoughts exactly. Grandparents had an apple tree that hung over the neighbors yard and dropped apples, which rotted and fermented. The neighbor’s donkey would eat them up all the time and get blitzed off his ass.
