The more intelligent ya get, the more stupider ya want to be.

I mean, if my entire life was grazing through the bush I’d want a mild buzz on too

Is it surprising though? Natural fruit doesn’t have the same shelf life as modern farmed fruit, so it’ll start fermenting in just a few days - add in alcohol having a lot of calories, and so the chimpanzees naturally won’t skip out on it either.

Monkeyshines

But are they paying their taxes on that alcohol?

Boozy Fruit

I was in a Jimmy Buffet cover band by that name

Honestly better than modern society.

I think I'd rather live for 20-30 fulfilling years than 50-70 of mostly slavery where I exchange 5/7ths of life overworking myself.

So there's evolutionary reasoning for the way I am?

Fuckin' lightweights.

Not only chimpances, there are also other animals which like to get drunk with fermented fruits, or high with certain toxines, like Lemures with toxic centipedes,, giving a doble use with the toxine, using in their fur to protect against parasites, but after this also to lick it to get high.
