Heh! the Roald Dahl story of the poachers who soak raisins in rum, in order to stupefy the birds in their roost, comes to mind. I hear that elephants will seek out rotten fruit under trees in order to seriously party. Animals around beach resorts have learnt to scavenge drinks from deckchair tables …. it’s all in the genes.

We are stinky monkeys, we know no better.
