Are we more tolerant of alcohol than other animals? It is a poison to us after all. There's lots of funny stories of birds eating fermented berries and acting tipsy.
What I'm wondering is whether our attitude toward alcohol poisoning is like that toward "hot" peppers and herbs. I understand that those last two repel broad groups of animals. So perhaps being tipsy is something other animals despise while we tolerate and even welcome it.
_if_ that is the case then it opens up carbohydrates to us that other animals pass up. Maybe it's even testable in a lab.
