Anyone ever told you that you behaved like a pig when you got drunk some time? Well imagine what happens when a pig actually gets drunk. Some campers near the DeGrey river in Australia watched this phenomenon when a wild hog (see picture) drunk 18 cans of beer. Apparently it wasn’t a happy drunk, cause they witnessed the pig start a fight with a (much bigger) cow.
“It was in the middle of the night and it was these people camping opposite usand they heard this crunching of the can and they got their torch out and shone it on the pig and there he was scrunching away their cans”, says eye witness Merida who was present when the incident occured. “The he went and raided their rubbish that they had sort of covered over with a bin as well. And then there was some other people camped right on the river and they saw him running around their vehicle being chased by a cow. It was going around and around and then it went into the river and swam across to the middle of the river. The people that were camped on the river went across and crept up on it and it was hiding and sleeping under a big log right on the edge of the water.”
Classic. Apparently the pig drunk 18 cans, then feasted on some rubbish, got into a fight with the biggest guy around, then had a bath and went to bed. Sounds familiar right? Drink like hell, eat unhealthy fast food, take on a guy twice your size, take a shower and sleep off your drunkeness. Seems like we’re not that different.
