Reminds me of the kereru, who are mildly infamous in NZ for getting drunk on berries and then falling on your roof with the elegance and grace of a brick. Look at this adorable idiot.
The thing about kereru is they are thiccc. Even when they aren't drunk flight is a serious challenge for them on account of their very low chonk-to-brain-cell ratio. When they fly, they make a really loud fwop-fwop-fwop noise as they use their sheer girth to pull themselves through the air against gravity, natural law and common sense.
At the college I used to go to, there's a line of fruiting crabapple trees in front of the dining hall, while eating I'd enjoy watching the squirrels eat the fermenting fallen fruit and stumble around drunk.

That would be a very high chonk-to-brain-cell ratio, no? Or a low brain-cell-to-chonk ratio?

I love that getting shitfaced drunk likely predates humanity and even primates by hundreds of millions of years.

How can birds get drunk if they aren't real?

Magnets...
Edit: I just saw that OP's diagram below actually had a magnet labeled; I'm not sure how I missed that last time.

Now that I think of it, animals have far greater excuses to get drunk intentionally.
