Drunk: Under the Trees & Under the Influence
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—4/20/2015—The fermentation process we humans utilize to create beer, hard liquor, and other alcoholic beverages can also occur (naturally) when fruits are left on the ground. Animals and birds consuming this aging fruit, with its high alcohol content, can become intoxicated. The video I offer here for your viewing pleasure features a drunken squirrel, a rodent on Spring Break, as it were.
For those who may be catching up on long-missed posts, here’s a link to my previous column, I Don’t Think They Said That (Again).
This inebriated squirrel has gotten over 4 million hits, thus far. Check it out for yourself.
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
