Chimpanzees Not Only Understand Cooking, They Also Enjoy Getting Drunk with Their Friends

On the heels of a study that found chimpanzees to possess an understanding of the cooking process something once thought to belong only to humans another new study reveals that chimpanzees can be social drinkers, too.
In a 17-year study, scientists found that chimps, who share the human ability to metabolize ethanol, were more than happy to take advantage of the effects of an alcoholic beverage or two, especially if they were among friends.
The drink in question is derived from the raffia palm in Bossou, Guinea, which produces a fermenting sap that is commonly collected into plastic containers and consumed within a day by humans.
Chimpanzees, on the other hand, have been observed ingesting the sap using a drinking tool often a leaf-scoop or a leaf-sponge that is immersed in the fluid, then retrieved and inserted into the mouth for compressive extraction between the tongue and palate.
