Drunk Badger Disrupts Traffic Thu Jul 9, 6:53 pm ET
BERLIN (Reuters) – A badger in Germany got so drunk on over-ripe cherries it staggered into the middle of a road and refused to budge, police said on Wednesday.
A motorist called police near the central town of Goslar to report a dead badger on a road -- only for officers to turn up and discover the animal alive and well, but drunk.
Police discovered the nocturnal beast had eaten cherries from a nearby tree which had turned to alcohol and given the badger diarrhoea.
Having failed to scare the animal away, officers eventually chased it from the road with a broom.

We used to have drunk bluejays at my middle school. Cherries would fall into the fountain and rot, and the birds would drink the water. I remember class would grind to a halt while tipsy bluejays would sit on the window sill and attack their reflections. Those were some MEAN little drunks.
