Most of the cats I have had lived way longer than 12 years.

I have been told that reindeer are very fond of alcohol - though they usually get it second-hand (nobody tells them not to eat the yellow snow). Could there be a connection with a certain reindeer having a red nose?

And then there are wasps. I have known them to get completely sozzled on over-ripe blackberries until they just fall off the fruit and lie on there backs on the ground waving their legs in the air and giggling.
