I have the same rule at my house. Those little fuckers get too rowdy when they are drunk.
Bees are happy drunks at least, it's the wasps I've a problem with it, they are belligerant, along the lines of : What Are You Looking At? Hey big dude with the fancy stuff, has anyone told you you're an asshole? What, what are you going to do? Is how the conversation often goes.
But I know they do eat rotten fruit. Actually it explains a lot about wasps realizing they might often be drunk.
TIL wasps are the trailer park dudes of the insect world
The problem with wasps is they steal your drinks. Flying around being a nuisance, then as soon as you crack a cold one, they dive right in and drink until they drown. They have no sense of portion control and they never buy you a round.
