The more cats, the better world... :--p
But what are the cats drinking?
This sounds like a fun party drink for Halloween.

There is growing evidence that ethanol is encountered frequently enough in the natural world to favour mechanisms enabling its use in multiple animal lineages.
Since the Cretaceous period, fleshy fruits have provided a sugar-rich resource for fermentative yeasts and natural ethanol production. As such, the inclusion of ethanol in animal diets is likely just as ancient.
Moderate ethanol intake is associated with nutritional, medicinal, and cognitive benefits, but many of these remain understudied for non‐human species in natural contexts.
This challenges the current belief that modern humans are the only vertebrate that regularly and uniquely consumes ethanol and leads us to reconsider ethanol’s ecological role and evolutionary impact in nature.

Our metabolism produces about a shot of alcohol every day. Production by gut bacteria can be even higher and in rare cases, high enough to cause "auto-brewery syndrome", where the production in the gut exceeds the liver's capacity to handle it.
I'm certain the same is true for many animals. Ethanol is everywhere.
So yeah, it's an important feature of life.

Life would be unbearable, otherwise.
I know a few recovering alcoholics. Much of their success comes from rigorous avoidance of even tiny amounts. They worry about the alcohol in vanilla extract, for instance. I refrain from telling them that their own bodies are "ruining their sobriety" every day.
I can attest to the magical medicinal properties of Guinness.
yeah, I can see ... your avatar is living proof!
I can attest to the magical medicinal properties of Guinness...My guess is the cigars helps with that grin
...and Rocky Patel cigars.
That's very interesting I have drunk that for years, on and off. Recently I needed a change though a few days back I got a Sam Adams Octoberfest at the Pub at the Marriot in Parsippany. That, along with a giant chicken pot pie
