Every Thursday, the KQED Arts blog features a new Video of the Week to help you forget that it isn’t Friday yet.

In this ridiculously cute report, BBC brings us even more evidence that Darwin was right. Not only do monkeys and humans share genes, but both species like to get their drink on! Vervet monkeys in the Caribbean have acquired the taste for alcohol from fermented sugarcane and have taken advantage of their close proximity to tourists by stealing unattended drinks. After they’re done with the stolen margaritas and pina coladas, they fall off benches and tables. It’s way more endearing when they do it.

If you have any crazy sexy cool videos of your own, share them with us and we’ll consider them for future installments of Video of the Week!
