> The villagers in Dobratic, Bosnia, have put a beer-loving neighborhood bear on the wagon. The 2-year-old bear developed a taste for the brew after he started gulping down the contents of discarded beer cans he found around the village.
> 
> No problem - except when he spent his nights drunkenly “singing” from a nearby meadow. The locals tried giving him soda instead, but he wasn’t interested. They finally helped him kick the habit - and end his nocturnal singing - by getting him to drink non-alcoholic beer.
