> SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a
> campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen
> cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.
>
> "We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was
> going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying
> around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles
> (129 kilometers) northeast of Seattle.
>
> The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into
> campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans,
> swilled down the suds.
>
> It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a
> mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and
> stuck with it for his drinking binge.
>
> Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said
>  Broxson.
>
> They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of
> Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.
