A yellow Labrador Retriever in Austria named Bingo ended up getting drunk not on alcohol, but on bread!
Bingo’s owner wondered why his dog was staggering & barely able to stay on its feet. He checked his liquor cabinet & nothing was missing. So he took Bingo to the veterinarian who found he had a blood-alcohol level of 1.6 per mille which, if he weren’t a dog, would have also put him well past Austria’s legal driving limit of 0.5 per mille.
Turns out Bingo ate a half a kilo (1 lb.) of freshly prepared bread dough while it was sitting out to rise.
The yeast in the bread actually fermented in Bingo’s stomach causing the dog to get drunk.
