I just hope none of the bystanders tried to take advantage of it in it's delicate position! It looks a bit worried that they might!

As your dear neighbor... I can only but face palm, even your moose can't handle their alcohol.

Well that's almost as good as the drunken moose story.

Where were you water skiing, by the way?

I don't know about this case but I've heard of horses getting drunk on fermented fruit, so no reason to doubt this.

Heard the story read by Moira Stewart on the Chris Evans radio show on the way to work. Hilarious. The picture is even more so!

My parents had a drunk bear in their back yard in Montana a few years back. He ate all the fermented apples in their yard and lazily laid in their yard for about 12 hours.

Thanks, that looks like a beautiful spot to ski.

Though I guess the boat driver would have to be careful with all those islands!
