    Yea, and Monkeys and Elephants (amongst others) regularly get drunk on fermenting fruit. Drunk elephants are a real problem in some parts of the world. The willingness of ignorant people to state unresearched things as :"fact" is astonishing. There is nothing wrong with being below average intelligence or under educated, just don't put your ignorance on proud display.
