Drunk Monkeys?

This is an [interesting story] about the behavior of monkeys. Monkeys consume alcohol very similarly to humans, in that some drink in moderation while others drink until they pass out. Monkeys in isolation drink more than monkeys in social settings -- much like people.

Overall, it's an interesting article. Perhaps one of these days, doctors will have a better understanding of alcoholism.

Special thanks to "Aubrew" for sending in the story :)
