Elephants electrocuted in drunken rampage

You just can't make this stuff up:

GAUHATI, India - Six Asiatic wild elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking rice beer in India's remote northeast, a wildlife official said Tuesday.

AND it's not the first time this has happened, either:

The elephants are known to have a taste for rice beer brewed by tribal communities in India's northeast. Four wild elephants died in similar circumstances in the region three years ago.

Life in the jungle. It's rough.
