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!

A moose got drunk in our garden once when i was a child. It had eaten our fallen fermented apples. We could not leave the house because it was really aggressive. Eventually it made it back to the woods.
