Funny:

Studying the experimentally induced intoxicated behavior of ants in 1888, naturalist John Lubbock noticed that the insects that had too much to drink were picked up by nest mates and carried home. Conversely, drunken strangers were summarily tossed in a ditch.

Can you believe it was probably someone’s job to get ants drunk and study them? I know people who do that for free! Ants are much like humans in this respect, you would carry your friends home, but a stranger? Forget it!
