When I was a child, my dad and I had a lot of fun feeding ducks with bread he had dipped into gin, until they ran to a puddle to drink water, then come back for more bread, then run around in circles cause they couldn't find the puddle anymore.
Pretty horrifying to think of now cause I still remember that it never even crossed anyone's mind that what we were doing was bad. Other people watched and laughed.
