Opossum Breaks Into Liquor Store and Gets Drunk as a Skunk
https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Opossum-Breaks-Into-Liquor-Store-and-Gets-Drunk-as-a-Skunk-461510113.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_MIBrandAn opossum that apparently drank bourbon after breaking into a Florida liquor store sobered up at a wildlife rescue center and was released unharmed.
Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge officials say the opossum was brought in by a Fort Walton Beach, Florida, police officer on Nov. 24. A liquor store employee found the animal next to a broken and empty bottle of bourbon.
"A worker there found the opossum up on a shelf next to a cracked open bottle of liquor with nothing in it," said Michelle Pettis, a technician at the refuge. "She definitely wasn't fully acting normal."
Pettis told the Panama City News Herald the female opossum appeared disoriented, was excessively salivating and was pale. The staff pumped the marsupial full of fluids and cared for her as she sobered up.

Even the opossum understands what’s going on in this country. Had to drink away its problems.

Opossums live in North America, Possums live in Austrailia.
Here' a picture comparison. One is cute, the other... well, not so cute.
