My parents' dog likes beer and wine

When he was young and spry he drank wine right out of the glass. It didn't matter if it was white or red or came from a box. Safe to say he does not have a discriminating palate.

Now, if you leave a beer low enough, he will knock it over and drink what spills.

Please note, he is not allowed to have it and they keep it away from him, but they neglected to warn me and I left it sit on a low table where he was able to get to it.

My cat will drink the condensation off the bottle, but as far as I know he has not developed a taste for alcohol.

We always bought an extra coffee because we knew he was bound to steal one of ours.

The poor dog got into everyone's glass at a dock party one 4th of July. I felt so sorry for Bunker the next morning. [img][/img] He was really hung-over. It was a sad sight indeed.

a beer bottle and any other bottle, even with cap still on. He would always knock over beer bottle, trying to get the spillage. Never the others. He loved his beer.
