Someone send this monkey to AA!
A liquor-loving macaque broke into a bottle shop in Madhya Pradesh, India, this week and brazenly drank a bottle of Kahlua in front of the shop’s owner.

Locals said the monkey, which is known in the area, developed a taste for the sauce after finding a not-quite-empty bottle of wine, according to the Star.
During the booze battle, a staffer tried to stop the monkey and was bitten in the process.
