"One scientific paper describes elephant trainers rewarding animals with beer and other alcoholic beverages, with one elephant in the 18th century said to have drunk 30 bottles of port a day. In 1974, a herd of 150 elephants in West Bengal, India, became intoxicated after breaking into a brewery, then went on a rampage that destroyed buildings and killed five people."

Years ago I saw a movie/video called "Animals Are Beautiful People". It was produced by the same people as "The Gods Must Be Crazy". There was a sequence in there where the animals are eating fermented fruit, and the after effects were shown. Hilarious.
