The researchers studied how common their new behavior classification of scrumping is and found that African apes "scrump" on a regular basis. Chimpanzees consume about 10 pounds of fruit each day, suggesting they ingest a non-trivial amount of alcohol and that chronic low-level exposure to ethanol may be a significant component of chimpanzee life.
