A rodent that is capable of drinking a dose comparable in human standards to half a bottle of vodka. 
Back in the mid-20th century, it was known that hamsters were alcoholics. 
If in laboratory conditions the same rats need to be accustomed to alcohol, then the small, cheeky rodents will happily drink pure grain alcohol. 
They are professional bakers, and such that you have never even dreamed of. 
A healthy Homa in his prime can consume about 18 grams of ethanol per day, which for his weight is equivalent to drinking about half a bottle of vodka. 
As it turns out, this strange addiction has a completely logical explanation. Living in the wild, rodents collect large reserves of grain and fruit in their burrows, which they feed on throughout the winter. 
Naturally, over time, all this stuff wanders. The hamster simply has no choice but to kick his butt every day. 
As one of the Bradford scientists explains, tolerance to alcohol in hamsters is associated precisely with their nutritional conditions. It is for this reason that they easily process ethanol. 
However, it is not clear exactly how long a baby can withstand really large doses of alcohol. 
There is a story on the Internet about how a pet hamster begged for wine and after some time died from cirrhosis of the liver. 
Also, one of the netizens asked a rather strange question: will a hamster get a headache if you give it a hundred grams of vodka? 
In their answers, they decided to calm the sadist down and suggested that after such shock doses the hamster would definitely not have any pain. 
Another commentator joked that a couple of drops is enough for a headache, but don’t forget to leave the rodent water and snacks.
