Can animals hold a beer?

Looks at how different species of mammals react to alcohol consumption:

Discusses how much alcohol it would take to get different spices “drunk,” and the evolutionary biology behind the differences. It’s a lot more complicated than simply scaling by body size.

@Axtremus The article about elephants was interesting. I remember when I was in India, there was more than one article about elephants either drinking liquor or fermented berries (seemed to usually happen in Assam) and then going on rampage through the village. LOL

Also, I believe that many Asians (myself including) lack the gene to digest alcohol.

Reminds me of the old joke,

"what did the 2020 Greg Floyd rioter say to the rabid wolf foaming at the mouth?"

"Hold my beer".

Lol!!
