monkeys drinking

A new study came out recently regarding the drinking habits of monkeys. Discovery Channel reports that Monkeys drink more alcohol when alone, and sometimes like to end a long day with booze.

Not sure what is more surprising. The fact that the monkeys drink like us... or that monkeys are drinking at all.

From the article:

"The singly housed monkeys certainly drank more than the socially housed monkeys- at least two to three-fold more," Chen told Discovery News. "With the socially housed monkeys, there are a number of factors that can potentially compete with access to alcohol, such as social status or dominance ranking."

Lower-ranked monkeys and males tended to drink more overall, but certain individuals consistently drank more than others, regardless of status or housing conditions.
