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.

Yeah I remember you mentioning a drunk elephant once! I would be running far away from the scene!!
