Found this in the latest issue of Fortean Times and couldnt resist sharing it with you all. The article is a paraphrase of a report which appeared in the Sunday Telegraph of May 3, 2002, and appears in a feature collecting together items on this theme. Club promoters in the North Wales borderlands might particularly enjoy it! ******** A study that involved giving alcohol to 1000 green vervet monkeys has shown that small primates behave very much like humans. The vast majority drank moderately and only in the company of other monkeys (but never before lunch) and preferred their drink to be diluted with fruit juice. Around 15% drank regularly and heavily, preferring their hooch neat or with a dash of water. The same proportion drank a little or were teetotal. Five per cent were "seriously abusive binge drinkers". They get drunk, pick fights, and consume as much as they can before passing out. As with humans, most heavy drinkers are young males, but monkeys of both sexes and all ages like a drink. The research took place on the Caribbean island of St Kitts, where monkeys have developed a taste for alcohol in the form of fermenting sugar cane, and now frequent the islands bars to gulp back abandoned cocktails. The study involved keeping the animals in cages and offering them a choice between soft drinks, alcoholic drinks and diluted alcohol. "A cage full of drunken monkeys is like a cocktail party," said Professor Frank Ervin of McGill University, Montreal, who led the study. "You have one who gets aggressive, one who gets sexy, one who thinks everythings funny and one who gets really grumpy. The binge drinkers gulp down the alcohol and pass out on the floor. The next day they do it all over again." ***************
