Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground

The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers’ coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.
It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.
Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson.
They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.

  1. The bear was able to be identified and returned to his home of origin: Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, where he is sleeping off the effects of the beer and preparing for the Fall legislative session.

  2. Ah, but Tim … when I see THIS alcoholic drive a car off a bridge, I’ll be impressed.
