Party Animals: Bears Chug 100 Beers, Trash Cabin

But American bear much tidier when robbing chocolate store

(Newser) – They weren't so much cat burglars as "bear burglars." A mamma bear and her three cubs are believed to have broken into a cabin in Norway, sucked down about 100 cans of beer, and trashed the place, reports the Local. The bears broke in by tearing down a wall, then ate every scrap of food they could find, including marshmallows, chocolate, and honey, and broke all the furniture. "They had a hell of a party in there," said the cabin owner, who cited bear excrement and footprints as the tell-tale signs that they were the culprits. "The cabin has the stench of a right old piss up, trash, and bears."

Unlike those pillagers, however, the bear who recently broke into a chocolate shop in Estes Park, Colo., was downright dainty. Propping open a broken front door, a black bear entered and re-entered a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory seven times over a 20-minute period, gorging himself on a variety of treats, reports Gawker. But this bear left the shop in great condition, and in fact the store owner had to watch security tapes to figure out what had happened to her business. (She thought a squirrel might have gotten into the shop.) "He was very clean and very careful," said the store owner.

The fact that the cabin was stocked with 100 beers in the first place makes me think the furniture and carpets didn't have much of a chance even without the bears. I mean I guess there isn't much else to do in winter when snowed in except sit around and drink but still in high summer what do you need that much beer for if your not planning on throwing a party and wrecking the place?

Bears have been reported showing up in local hospitals with alcoholic poisoning, diabetes & coronary artery disease.
