I saw this discovery show report in High School about this troop of African monkeys that knew about what time of the year to go pick up the fruits that fell from a particular kind of tree....these fruits were about the size of grapefruits pretty big, and they must have been standing on the ground for a while because these monkey would eat them, and get drunk from it. They would do cartwheels down a hill and generally act even sillier than monkeys normally would act. It even showed one of the monkeys holding its head the next day, I guess the beast had a hangover lol

concerning the argument that developed over whether alchohol is wrong or not, i've noticed two different kinds of thought on this. The americans don't want their minors to drink at all. We have a lot of this "dont drink" kind of direction from schools and so forth. On the other hand in Europe, alchohol isn't seen as such a bad thing for minors. I would guess that in america people binge drink a lot more, and having some 16 year old binge drink b/c it was her first time to try something alchoholic could be a bad thing, but over in Europe binge drinking doesn't seem to be as big of a thing as it is in America. Alchohol is just something that people do, not just adults so they don't have as big of a problem with minors trying to "over-prove" their adulthood or whatever.
