In the wild, chimps likely ingest the equivalent of several alcoholic drinks every day - Berkeley News

A survey of the alcohol content of fruits eaten regularly by African chimps shows that their diet could deliver 14 grams of ethanol daily. Given their body size, that's nearly two cocktails' worth.

    I just read that those 14g of ethanol is an equivalent to 0,33L lager. Daily drinking is still alcoholism - get your life together, chimpanzees.

    It’s not just chimps or alcohol

            Just a bit of weed, edibles or a vape usually. No more alcohol for me any more.
