‘Drunk’ squirrel causes hundreds of pounds of damage to private members’ club

A squirrel got pissed, ate crisps and smashed £300 worth of glasses and beer bottles at a private members’ club, reports the BBC.

Sam Boulter, secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club near Evesham in Worcestershire, said he originally thought someone had broken into the premises.

He then saw a squirrel “staggering around” after coming out from behind a box of crisps. The hairy drunken intruder had apparently hurled himself on a beer tap, turning it on. The squirrel (which was later caught and released) then drank his fill.

“I’ve never seen a drunk squirrel before,” said Boulter. “He was sozzled and looked a bit worse for wear, shall we say.”

Perhaps squirrels cut back on the demon drink – this one in a Minneapolis neighborhood was drunk from eating fermented pumpkins.
