The trunk and disorderly mammals ransacked a shop, three houses and ruined crops in the eastern village of Dumurkota, India.
Police
say the gang of over-the-limit tuskers downed more than 500litres of
moonshine alcohol, managing to drink the place dry in a matter of
minutes.
The unruly mob demolished dozens of houses in their
desperate hunt for more booze after hoovering up the hard stuff in
record time.
Local police officer Asish Samanat said the drunken
elephants were more 'aggressive' than usual after their mammoth drinking
session.
'Unfortunately these animals live in close proximity to man and they recognised the smell of the drink,' he explained.
'They were like any other drunk - aggressive and unreasonable but much, much bigger.'

I've heard stories of this. Supposedly, they're not after the booze per say, but the sugar in stuff like rum. Elephants have got one serious sweet tooth.
their version of a night on the town is havoc.
Yeah I remember you mentioning a drunk elephant once! I would be running far away from the scene!!
