After 9 Drinks, I Couldn't Even SAY "Pentailed Shrew"

It couldn't have possibly been just me.

An article in the esteemed Scientific American reports that certain animals do indeed seek out alcohol, and not just cast-aside manmade stuff. Seems that a local palm tree churns out some stuff that's about 3.8% alcohol, complete with a head on it. Turns out that pentailed shrews...



and slow lorises...



are quite the topers. According to the article:

They regularly guzzle the equivalent of about nine drinks a night—though they don’t display what we’d consider drunken behavior.

Sounds like some folks I know.

Come to think of it, "slow loris" and "pentailed shrew" sounds like some folks I know, too.

Don't even worry about having too much to drink any more. Apparently it's completely natural. Just be sure to invite Slow Loris and Pentailed Shrew along so that you'll have a designated driver.
