It’s a fact around the world that everyone loves monkeys. It’s also a safe bet that most of you love imbibing on some tasty alcohol as well. Well now, the BBC has snookered a way to focus on these two things in the following clip.
According to Laughing Squid:
In 2009, the BBC television show Weird Nature went to the West Indies island named St. Kitts to film vervet monkeys snatching cocktails from beach-goers and then proceeding to get drunk. According to the clip, the monkeys were brought from West Africa 300 years ago with the rum-making slaves and they acquired a taste for alcohol from eating the rum’s leftover fermented sugar cane.
Did you see those little guys! They weren’t just drunk, they were frenetic as all hell. The people sitting around though didn’t seem to mind and just kind-of sat back, threw up their arms and went “Meh. It’s a living.”
At least they’re not being chained up and forced to write novels–yet.
