Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

"We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 km) northeast of Seattle.

The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.

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.
Might have to find someone to sponser the bear at AA.

Must be related to my cat. He tried to steal my brother-in-law's beer earlier tonight.

Yes, this is the same cat I have pictures up of.

ROFL that is hilarious.

But seriously thats why you take a gun along on a camp trip - for incase some bear wants to steal your booze... :P

But this is a great ad campaign potential for that brewery...

Damn, I was thinking about posting this, but got sidetracked reading other threads.

Pretty funny story though. That bear would be cool to hang out with.

I'm a bit skeptical.
Just how much beer would be left after he tore the can open?
It'll spew everywhere, and what doesn't spray out, would most likely spill out.
