Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins: A Trip Through the World of Animal Intoxication

From coca cola to cocaine, humans find a way to enjoy one drug or another every single day. But we're certainly not the only animals that want to get high. Some animals, like parrots and certain primates, partake in medicinal chemicals to prevent infections and diseases. Apocryphally, shepherds in Ethiopia discovered coffee's effects when their goats started acting even more energetic than usual. Some dolphins share pufferfish, using its toxins to get high. Everything in nature, from insects to elephants, find bizarre ways to achieve intoxication.
