		<description>Disturbing is half a word, regarding this video.  It is not funny at all.

In a rural areas, we know what happens to wild animals.   Old,  and/or sick squirrels, raccoons, and sometimes woodchucks act like that.  We see that kind of thing when they&#039;re active.  In a deciduous forest there&#039;s not anything to ferment and get them drunk.

@mena had a good post.

My brother is a veterinarian and I&#039;m waiting for him to get back to me on this.

I&#039;ll let you know what he says.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s kind of disturbing to watch a sick animal. It&#039;s NOT funny: obviously the poor thing desperately wants to get away from the humans filming it...but in its condition, it&#039;s probably safer near the ground. Hope the onlookers were at least kind enough to watch out for it to make sure cats didn&#039;t show up...

There&#039;s a lesson in this: clean up your yards and get rid of those old pumpkins. The squirrel obviously didn&#039;t intend to get bombed. All it wanted to do was take in as much nutrition as it could for the Winter. Getting this sick-intoxicated just before it gets seriously cold does not help its chances for survival.</description>

		<description>Last time I saw a squirrel acting that way, I waited for it to get out of the road.  It couldn&#039;t figure out which side of the road it wanted to exit, it kept going back and forth.  Then it finally ran off.  Then the tree branch that was right over were he was running came down and crashed, and my sons had to move it out of the road just to get by.  I figure that he managed to fall from the branch, and was trying to get his bearings when we found him going back and forth.</description>
