There is this rather strange concept that it is only we humans that are capable of getting drunk, but science has shown that this is completely wrong. Instead, we can look to one of our rather close relatives, the humble chimp, to see that they too appear to have a particular taste for alcohol.
Of course, they are not going out there and brewing some kind of alcohol in the way that we do, but they are still able to get pretty drunk just by using things that are around them. In particular, we are talking about chimps in Guinea that have a particular favorite when it comes to what they want to drink. They seem to have a preference for fermented palm sap, and even though it may not sound as if it is too pleasant, it does contain around 3% alcohol, so it is on a par with some light beers that are out there on the market.
This isn’t to say that the chimps are having a party and getting drunk on a regular basis, as that’s not the case, but it does give you a completely different sense of what chimps could get up to in their free time.
