News of the weird:
Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground.
The funniest part of it to me was this:
It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.
Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson.
They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.
So what’s weirder than a beer-swilling bear with a taste for the local specialty in a can?
(Yes, I know I dangled a participle.)
But of course..
Any bear worth his salt would reject Busch beer.
What we haven’t been told, of course is that sson after, the bear used beer as the gateway drug to harder stuff, lost his job, his wife, and his self respect, went into rehab, and has come out a new bear.

Sounds like it could be made into a country western song. You’ve got to admit, that’s pretty funny. A bear that likes beer. I think I’ll just sit here and shake my head for awhile with a stupid grin on my face!–
