There is a big problem of elephant alcoholism in India.
Substance abuse doesn’t just end at human beings. In the October of 2007, six young elephants broke into an Indian Village, found their way into the beer supply, and got drunk. They then did what any hoard of drunk elephants would do, and started to uproot electrical poles. Unfortunately, they died horribly as a result. In 2002, another group of drunken elephants rampaged through another village; this time, killing 6 people.
These aren’t just freak occurrences. Alcoholism in elephants is a growing problem in India and Africa. Because elephants are clever, they have figured out that where there are people, there is also liquor. Just another example of how intelligence can lead a creature to do some stupid things.
