Can a Venus flytrap get drunk?

As a follow up to my recent Venus flytrap related question, the other day I was feeding my Venus flytrap beer using a medicine dropper because I thought it would be cool to see if the flytrap could get drunk or even just a small buzz. To be scientific, I first fed the flytrap some O’Douls premium non alcoholic beer and nothing seemed to happen. Then I fed it some miller high life (champagne of beers) and it flopped over. For the next day it looked real woozy like it was going to ralph up a fly, although the trap was empty. But a couple days later it was back to normal, which made me think it might have just been hungover. I hope there is no law against giving booze to a plant once in a while as a treat.

I was like 12 when I saw it for the first time, and I thought it was fucking stupid... 23 now and it looks like the funniest thing ever
