Drunk Monkeys

May 11, 2006 by Kevin D. Hendricks | Filed under: Monkey News

Drunk monkeys, it seems, are a lot like drunk people. They drink more when they're alone, they like to drink after a hard day's work and they'll often drink until they fall asleep. You can't make this stuff up. Apparently you need a team of researchers at the National Institutes of Health Animal Center in Maryland working to find primate parrallels to human alcoholism in order to treat symptoms of relapse. Or they just wanted to see monkeys get smashed.
