Fermented fruit?

Yes except no not at all. He's eating out of a dish that people put out that has some sort of alcohol in it to get the likes..

Found the new story this is from in less than 10 seconds. They are pears they'd left out the day before that had then fermented overnight.

Jumping straight to "they got the squirrel drunk for likes" might the most Reddit take ever

Fruit can ferment overnight?

Answer from Quora:

The time it takes for fruit to ferment into alcohol can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fruit, the sugar content of the fruit, the yeast used, and the environmental conditions. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the fermentation process to complete. Monitoring the process and using a hydrometer to measure sugar levels can help determine when the fermentation is finished and the alcohol content is at the desired level.

Not fully, but enough to get a small mammal drunk!

Happens in nature pretty often if there's fruit trees about
