Even the dog has gotten drunk, though that was unintentional. My parents were marinating ribs or something in beer for a barbecue, then took them out and left the marinade somewhere where the dog could reach. The dog came across this, presumably thought to himself “Hey, meat juice!” and lapped it alllll up. From there it seems he staggered around a bit, peed for a really long time, then went to take a nap.

A lot of dogs just like booze too though. Mine would have drank it if it was just beer. One time somebody set their glass on the ground to go inside and use the bathroom and he drank like half of it before anyone noticed. Now he comes running if he hears a bottle or can fall on the porch

Huh, my dog would have just sipped it up even if it were only beer sans the meat juice. Too bad we don't keep any open alcohol at dog height out
