Bear gets drunk and passes out

In the quaint town of Baker Lake, Washington State, in the summer of 2004, an unexpected and furry guest decided to make headlines in a rather peculiar way. Residents and vacationers at a local resort woke up to an unusual sight—a black bear sprawled out on the lush green lawn, having passed out after a legendary drinking spree.

The mischievous bear, with a taste for the finer things in life, had managed to break into campers’ coolers with finesse, using its formidable teeth and claws to puncture a whopping 36 cans of Rainier Beer. It seemed the bear had developed a discerning palate, showing a clear preference for this particular brand over any other.

Witnesses were both astounded and amused as the bear, after consuming the equivalent of a human-sized party pack, decided that it was high time for a nap. Choosing the resort’s well-manicured lawn as its makeshift bed, the bear embraced a deep slumber, blissfully unaware of the chaos it had caused and the headlines it was generating.

Wildlife agents, called in to handle the situation, marveled at the bear’s unusual taste in beverages. It became a matter of both concern and amusement for the authorities as they carefully documented the scene. The bear, now a local legend, unwittingly became a mascot of sorts for Rainier Beer, gaining the admiration of those who couldn’t help but find humor in the situation.

This tipsy bear’s escapade left the residents of Baker Lake with a tale to tell for years to come, proving that sometimes even the wildest creatures have a taste for the finer things in life—even if it leads to an unexpected and entertaining afternoon siesta on a resort lawn.
