Drunk rats running wild in India.

Rats are raiding a drinks store to gnaw at beer cans and make holes in the caps of whisky bottles to get drunk, reports claim.

The rodents’ love for liquor has the police department in Bihar state, eastern India, stumped as it tries to store hundreds of bottles seized from illegal sellers.

Kundan Krishnan, a senior officer, said: “We are fed up with these drunk rats and cannot explain why they have suddenly turned to consumption of alcohol.”

The problem is costly as it eats into revenue made from selling the liquor that is seized from illegal sellers in Patna, the state capital, through auctions.

Rats were also attacking people near the police buildings, nibbling at their toes, although it was not clear if they were under the influence, officials and witnesses said.
