A herd of 50 elephants decided that they could outdo humans in their line of business when they gulped 500 litres of beer. First they damaged three houses to get to the stored tipple and as if that was not enough, they went on to bring down a shop and destroyed crops. All this happened in East India in an area called Dumurkota.
It seemed that they enjoyed their experience and could not get enough; they searched all the huts in the locale as per accounts from locals. It was also reported that they got out of the jungle courtesy of the alluring smell of Mahua, before marauding the shop stocking it.
Afterwards, the villagers sent the animals out before forestry officials struggled to make them cross a river in the vicinity. Police, however, reported that the problem was bound to recur since the animals’ habitat was just nearby. They also said the animals displayed human character while drunk when they acted unreasonable and aggressive.
