    From article here: http://www.thestar.com/article/692040[^] Odd facts about hamsters and alcohol: 1. Given the choice between drinking water and drinking water laced with alcohol, hamsters prefer the alcohol. 2. Hamsters drink more heavily after dark. 3. After having knocked back as much alcohol as they wanted to for a couple of days, hamsters have considerable difficulty telling what time of day it is. Who would have guessed. :-) -- Ian

        I guess this would be true for any animal.

        50-50-90 rule: Anytime I have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability I'll get it wrong...!!
