Drunk dogs a bad idea
Giving dogs alcoholic drinks isn't a good idea, even in the festive season.
Alcohol has similar effects on dogs than on humans, including disorientation and nausea, according to a veterinarian quoted in the US newspaper Daily Camera.
And like humans, dogs can get alcohol poisoning.
The veterinarian has already treated eight dogs who had too much to drink this holiday season, the paper said. Beer is the most commonly shared drink, but some owners give dogs pina coladas or daiquiris.
"We've had a couple cases that required extensive medical care," the vet told the paper.
He even treated one dog after the animal was given marijuana.
He said cats are less likely to overindulge, but dogs "want to join the party".
