Can you really say "to get high"? I've never heard of animal purposely trying to get high like a human does. What advantage would they have? I can think of many disadvantages.

It says that the fruit falls off, rots, and then the animals eat it-it ferments into a sort of alcoholic brew. You know, you can make wine by letting grapes ferment in the sun.

Have you ever heard of a horse that windsucks? They lock their mouths on a piece of wood or something, breathe in deep and pull down...the air rushes to their brains and makes them high. Then they do it over and over, and it becomes habitual. They'e actually looking for a high.
