Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins: A Trip Through the World of Animal Intoxication by Oné R. Pagán
4.0
A surprisingly in-depth scientific book about animals (including humans) and the use of alcohol and drugs "for the fun of it". The title made me think this would be stories about what people have witnessed and then some explanations what did or most likely did happen, but turns out I was wrong. There is a lot more science and descriptions of the processes behind it, and it is actually less about the different cases, more about the phenomena.
I found the story about cicadas to be fascinating. I also wished I would have finally found out the truth about elephants and marulas, but that seems to remain a mystery. Still, I found out a lot of interesting facts. I do quite often disagree with some methods, and giving elephants LSD or other drugs to see how they react feels just wrong. This is just one example. All in all an informative read!
