Drunken elephants have trampled at least six people to death in the northeast Indian state of Assam, local officials say.

The herd of wild elephants stumbled across the supplies of homemade rice beer after they destroyed granaries in search of food.

"They smashed huts and plundered granaries and broke open casks to drink rice beer. The herd then went berserk killing six people," a forestry official told AFP news agency.

"It has been noticed that elephants have developed a taste for rice beer and local liquor and they always look for it when they invade villages," an elephant expert in Guwahati told Reuters news agency.</blockquote>

:D

I think the Indians could learn from the three little pigs. Deeeefense.

Just curious as to exactly how much booze it takes to get an elephant rowdy.

I'm guessing a lot.

I dunno, Slang. Sounds like they get rowdy just thinking they might find some.:)

It's never a good party until the elephants are drunk and ready to rampage.

Dumbo is that you?

Quzah.

It might not take that much to buzz an elephant. I've seen cows getting loaded eating apple falls...

I hope they dont try to punish the elephants for this :(

When elephants get loaded do they see pink people?
