And you didn't believe your mom that drinking would get you in trouble.

I would say that the bear was a bit on the thirsty side.

That bear would have fit in just fine with my roomates in grad school.

Hey not big a deal, I use to do the same thing.

When I was stationed at Bremerton, WA all we drank was either Ranier Ale or Olympia beer. Bought a case for $2.25 IIRC.

The bear at least knew these easier of the two beers to drink to get drunk.

Hey Chris - great looking kid you got there

Sounds like one of the campers we've run into on occasion. At least this bear had good taste, one Busch and 30 something Raniers (no political pun intended).
We lived in Olympia for 4 years and had my fair share of Ranier Beer. The TV adds were great, if a bit campy. Now we're on the dry side and within a 20 mile radius there must be two dozen wineries. I hope the bear does not develop a more sophisticated pallate.
