CNN reports:
Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground
(via del.icio.us)
Addendum 19 August 2004: Shared this links with some colleagues at the office. One remarked that the bear must have migrated south from B.C. Given its predilection for donuts and microbrew, I'm inclined to agree that the bear is likely Canadian.
Addendum 20 August 2004: Yahoo! also reports on the story, quoting one park worker as saying, "This is the first time I've heard of a bear drinking beer. He was obviously a party animal." However, astute readers of this blog from two years back will recall the tale of Mrki, the drunken Bosnian bear, who started to annoy the local villagers with his intoxicated "singing"; the locals resolved the matter by getting the bear to start drinking de-alcoholized beer.

I just heard about that on the radio this morning. My favorite detail was that the bear preferred the Rainier beer to Busch. I'll pop some cold ones with that bear any time.

I'd hate to come across a hungover bear. But remember, you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun your friends.
