What started as a funny vacation story—a monkey stealing a tourist's cocktail on a Caribbean beach—turned into a fascinating scientific mystery. In this episode, we explore the famous vervet monkeys of Saint Kitts and the surprising research that revealed some of them willingly consume alcohol, displaying drinking patterns remarkably similar to humans. From colonial history and island folklore to cutting-edge studies of behavior, addiction, and biology, discover how these mischievous monkeys became unlikely contributors to our understanding of alcohol, choice, and human nature itself.
