Humans have gathered to feast and enjoy a tipple together for thousands of years, but research suggests chimpanzees may also bond over a boozy treat.
Wild chimpanzees in west Africa have been observed sharing fruit containing alcohol – not in quantities to get roaring drunk but, possibly, enough for a fuzzy beer buzz feeling.
“For humans, we know that drinking alcohol leads to a release of dopamine and endorphins, and resulting feelings of happiness and relaxation,” said Anna Bowland, from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at Exeter’s Penryn campus in Cornwall.
“We also know that sharing alcohol, including through traditions such as feasting, helps to form and strengthen social bonds.
I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just returning to monke
“Yep.”
“…uh huh!”
“You betcha!”
Mhmm
Then they go to their trees and abuse the females.
I remember that one documentary everyone at my school watched at least once during lessons: A bunch of animals in Africa getting drunk by eating fermenting fruit.
Getting wasted is just a natural part of life.
Bro, I’m telling you! They are turning the frogs gay! This expert was saying the Lions are behind it.
That fruit needs an intervention. Is that what the chimps are coming together to do?
