Ferrets and alchohol?

Question

We named our first ferret Whiskey. That was a total coincidence. He started sniffing my parent's wine and beer and if they put it down hed come over and l**k it. It was funny because they thought he was being cuddely to them until he started trying to get at the drink. The second one was named Brewsky (to try to stay on the same alchohol theme). He loved it more than the first one! We were showing him to my parent's friends at a new years party and one of the friends loved him and took him back to her seat. He started trying to get at her tequila so she offered him soda instead (which was probably a lot worse than tequila). He sniffed it but didnt l**k it. then she offered the tequila and he didnt even sniff it. He just went in and started drinking it. We dont give him alchohol ever unless he finds it himself and we dont catch him right away. My parents forget to bring their glasses upstairs and he licks them clean. Is this ferret liking to drink thing normal?

Answer 1

my ferret always tries getting at beer. like f i have the bottle in my hand he'll stand on hi hind legs to reach the opening and l**k it. so i guess they just like it. except mine likes soda too. he'll tip over the cans to get it.

try and keep him away though because if its not healthy for humans im sure its not healthy for him either.

Answer 2

? Why the h**l would you allow your ferret to access alcohol?

I wouldn't know if its normal, because no one else is stupid enough to allow there ferret to drink booze.

(sorry to come off like a b*tch, i really didn't mean to sound so s****.)

I do like the Liquor names though, mine are named Mojito and Martini, after the drinks :)
