Be careful not to get a\u00a0Deer-U-I!\u00a0<\/p>\n
A \u201cdrunk\u201d deer caused a ruckus in a rural town in France, and now authorities are warning drivers to be careful.<\/p>\n
The French police, the Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire gendarmerie, are warning drivers to be on the lookout for an erratic deer that appeared intoxicated after eating fermented fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn\u00a0spring, some wild\u00a0animals\u00a0consume buds, fermented fruit or decaying vegetation and can exhibit completely unpredictable behavior,\u201d the Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire gendarmerie said in a translated social media post.<\/p>\n
In a video shared by the organization, a deer can be seen moving in unpredictable circles.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, ladies and gentlemen\u2026not all road users are sober. The proof is in the picture,\u201d the police warned.<\/p>\n
When fruit overripens, natural sugars in it are broken down by yeast, which converts sugars into ethanol. This is the same type of alcohol found in beer, wine and liquor.<\/p>\n
The department said that an intoxicated deer can be dangerous due to sudden crossing, incoherent movement, immobilization on the road or erratic behavior.<\/p>\n

A collision can happen very quickly, especially at night or on secondary roads.<\/p>\n
Officers recommend that residents slow down, avoid sudden steering movements and remain extra vigilant in wooded areas.<\/p>\n
