Deer addicted to beer in China

The beer-guzzling deer at a resort in Weihai, China's Shandong province, has grown to love the alcoholic drink since it first tasted the brew last November.

According to Telegraph, the female deer got her first taste of beer when a waitress at the resort was cleaning up after some customers last year. The waitress, Zhang Xiangxi said: "I saw a bottle of beer was still half full so I playfully passed it to the deer. Unexpectedly it bit the bottle and raised its head and drank all the beer in one shot." Now Zhang always passes leftover beer from her customers to the deer. "It has a growing addiction to beer. To begin with, it was half a bottle, but now it is several big bottles in a row. Her daily feed is around two bottles of beer," said Zhang. "I don't know what her maximum appetite for beers is, though we once tried giving her four bottles of beer and she drank them all." 3news reported that this "party animal" refuses to drink water anymore, but will accept wine if no beer is available.
