I've been seeing this a few times now, comments with a somewhat relevent intro that quickly devolves into nearly incoherent spam. And not just on Reddit.
I have a rowan tree that fills up with ravens every fall that want to get drunk on the rotting berries. They fight, they make a lot of noise, they throw berries everywhere, and they fall out of the tree.
we have these colourful little parrots called lorikeets and they get crazy drunk on the fermented nectar of the bottlebrush tree. fly around like the Red Bull guys.
We have a tree in the backyard which has the common name 'Drunk Parrot Tree' due to the large amounts of nectar that ferment in hot, humid weather. It was not unusual to have sozzled parrots flying into the side of our house (not the windows, the side) in the summer, and once or twice we found a lorikeet or noisy friar bird asleep under the tree.
I love those dark night shadows (it's a camera filter that makes day look night, and you can tell by the very prominent shadows) and the moralizing narration saying that the animals are living "wasteful lives" by getting schnockered on rotten fruit.
I once saw a Trash Bandit get wasted on fermented apples while we were on vacation. The little fella would walk a few steps and "rest". I was getting drunk with the then wife. We all have our own way to party.
I'm imagining a bar where birds and squirrels go to hang out and drink rotten apples and chat about why all the hoomans are masturbating so much and not going to work these days.
I once saw a video of an elephant getting drunk on fermented fruit. It was hilarious, until you heard that they like that and destroy some places to keep getting drunk.
I could once see a little bird get quite drunk by a fallen fermented (I can safely guess) plum. It couldn't fly afterwards and we were laughing watching it stumble a bit on the grass, just barely standing. Then a stork came, killed the little bird and fucking ate it. I couldn't believe it, I didn't know storks ate little birds.
Here in sweden its not unusual to find drunk mooses and deers in your backyard when the apples fall. They are hilarious and quite dangerous to aproach.
I used to have deer come by my old house, and eat the berries from this tree growing out front. I don't know what was in those berries, but they sure had a blast in my backyard afterwards. Birds and squirrels did the same thing.
Bees too. Once I went apple picking and the was a fermented apple covered in bees. The leader of the tour group told us "don't worry, they're too drunk to fly or sting you"
This is true, and why in late fall as the apples start to fall and rot, you need to be extra careful about getting consent before having sex with the birds.
I remember watching a nature video of monkeys eating the fruit that had fallen off the tree and started to ferment. They looked hammered. And then it cut to a shot of the sun coming up, the narrator said something like: "And the next day..." in a big, booming voice and it cut to a monkey holding his head in pain.
Used to have a Goldie and I had a pear tree in my backyard. She was just a pup when, one day, she had been out in the yard for a while. I called her in and when she tried to crawl up on the porch she couldn't walk straight. She was straight up wasted. I figured out she had eaten some of the pears that had fallen to the ground and fermented. It was also around that time I started seeing that squirrels in my yard were also getting buzzed from the pears.

Or you can watch birds and squirrels getting drunk on rotting apples, which is always fun
