Ron gets a gigantic roaring no-prize for bringing us one reason why it's bad to brew your own hooch:

Wild, drunken elephants trampled three people to death and injured two others in a tribal village in India's northeastern state of Assam, wildlife officials said Wednesday.

A herd of 12 elephants entered the village of Marongi Tuesday and ran amok after taking long swills of rice beer brewing in casks outside the homes of the tribal people.

Dang. And I thought hikers had it bad because they had to hide their food from bears. When the elephant is pink, have a chat. If it's gray and bellowing and charging into your beer brewery, run like hell.
