A couple in Colorado were in awe to find their pet pig drank cases of beer that were in their garage and their 7-year-old Juliana pig named ‘Strawberry’ was properly drunk when they found her.
This happened several months ago but the incident has only recently started going viral after a video of the pig named Strawberry went viral on TikTok and got picked up by news outlets across the country, with millions amazed by the pet pig that drank beer and got schwasted on the family’s hobby farm.
The video has been seen a whopping 2.7 million times with everyone amazed at how Strawberry the pet pig, whose best friend is a duck, could take down so many beers:
@mjaymgee We have had some leftover beers in the garage since Fourth of July and tonight Strawberry decided to ✨treat herself✨ to the rest of them 😂 #HAMmered
Rachael O’Connor of Newsweek spoke with the owner of the beer-drinking pig. Asked about Strawbeery, Morgan Mullins said “Her best friend is a duck—at least the duck thinks so—and she roams our small hobby farm doing what she pleases.” Adding that “She enjoys going in and out of the house as she wants, but she mostly prefers outside.”
Mullins said she and her husband were first alerted to the inebriated state of Strawberry the pet pig when the duck was causing “a ruckus outside” which led them to investigate. From there, they found “all the empty beer cans, and then a very drunk Strawberry.”
On TikTok, people were immediately enthralled by Strawberry’s story. There were multiple follow-up videos as well, including this one showing Strawberry sleeping off a hangover inside of a wooden box with some blankies:
@mjaymgee Replying to @sidney kostiha shes actually not doing too bad 😅
Strawberry evidently took a liking to the hooch because she was up early looking for more beer cans:
@mjaymgee Replying to @Josie Wilkerson she was back at it this morning 😂
After becoming a viral sensation, Strawberry was given a bowl of tortilla chips as congratulations:
@mjaymgee We cant believe all the attention little old Strawberry’s shenanigans have gotten. Shes handling her fame super well 🤩#strawberrythepig
To anyone surprised by this, you shouldn’t be. There’s a reason that we humans have an endless number of swine-related euphemisms about being lazy/dirty/hedonistic. Pigs live their lives with one thing in mind: make every day the best. If that means pet pigs drinking beer in the garage to celebrate the 4th of July then so be it.
