Chimpanzees not only share the metacognitive behavior but also relish alcohol just like humans.
A 17 year old study carried out by scientists concluded that the wild chimpanzees indulge in regular alcohol drinking.
Chimpanzees of Bossou, southeastern Guinea booze right from 7 am in the morning till night fall.
These wild chimpanzees indulge in large amounts of drinks however their sessions are pretty orderly and also social.
With this arrangement one tree can provide around 50 liters of sap.
The chimps would then insert this into the sap, take it out and drink the sap.
The entire study was published in Royal Society Open Science.
TheDrunken Monkey Hypothesiswas proposed by Dr Robert Dudley who was from the University of California at Berkeley.
Way back in 2008, a research team in US had reported chronic alcoholic drinking in wild tree shrews.
In another instance, green monkeys were found to steal the cocktails of tourists in St Kitts.
She says: Its very nice when its fresh.
It tastes like cider.
