Drunken Monkeys

A study of Vervet monkeys shows a similar percentage of drinkers and non-drinkers as the human population, but the real entertainment is the monkeys stealing the drinks!!

This is from the BBC Worldwide animal show "Weird Nature".

Which memories, Brent? Being on St. Kitts, stealing booze, drinking till you drop, or a previous life as a monkey?

If booze makes humans act kind of like monkeys...what does it make monkeys act like?
@Maggie: a guy was recently caught using a trained monkey to steal items from a gardening supply store. It might actually have been mentioned here, I'm not sure.
