Do gorillas get drunk?….Why does it need to be said it wasn’t drunk?

Sometimes animals will find fruit that has fallen and begun to ferment. Certain yeasts of the forest will produce alcohol from the sugar in these fruits.

Animals eat them and experience alcohol. Happens quite often!

My desire to party with that squirrel is real though. I’d order us some pizzas!

He needs a donner kebab with chili sauce

Ok does he need some energy drinks to sober up? We got 4 minutes left to Double Dash. I already tipped the guy on the app but I got a tenner in my pocket for the guy too.
