A Florida bar owner opening up shop following the Thanksgiving holiday was met by a drunken opossum polishing off a bottle of bourbon. The sneaky critter made its way into Cashs Liquor Store and had a festive celebration all her own, the Northwest Florida Daily News reported.
A worker there found the opossum up on the shelf next to a cracked open bottle of liquor with nothing in it. Assuming the opossum drank it all, he brought her to us, and we looked her over, Michelle Pettis, a wildlife technician in the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge.
She said the female opossum was salivating and appeared to be pale and disoriented when she was dropped off at the refuge.

My thoughts:
1. Florida, of course.
2. Gotta admire the choice. This opossum has refined taste.
Update:
She's fine. She's working through the steps.
