Elephants Who Like Beer

Recently in Gauhati, India six Asiatic Elephants went berserk and then electrocuted themselves.  A herd of forty of these elephants were out looking for food in a village.  A number of them became intoxicated on rice beer and then uprooted an electrical pole.  These elephants are known to have a taste for beer and it’s not unusual for them to go into villages in search of food.

Dipu Mark, a local conservationist, said, "There would have been more casualties had the villagers not chased them away."

The moral of the story is; if you drink and stampede, you’ll face the electric pole.
