German police called to clear a road of a dead badger found the animal in question had in fact gorged itself on over-ripe, fermented cherries and, blind drunk, staggered out into the middle of the road.
"The animal's stomach had turned the fruit to alcohol and the badger was, to put it crudely, drunk as a skunk," said a police statement on Wednesday. "In addition, the badger was suffering from diarrhoea studded with cherry stones."
Prodding the reluctant beast with a stick, officers managed to persuade it to leave the road near the town of Goslar in northwestern Germany and to sleep off his night of excess in a nearby meadow.

WARNING: Do not be misled by this story. Most badgers are mean drunks. Much more often than not, stick poking doesn’t end well.

Prodding the reluctant beast with a stick, officers managed to persuade it to leave the road Poking a drunk badger? Those beasties can be mean. I wouldn't want to poke a sober one, much less a drunk one.
