This reminds me of this video, where a bunch of animals (from hippos to monkeys, sadly no chimp) get drunk on marula fruits. It shows that no, it isn't just chimps or us doing it, at least mammals in general like some booze.
Perhaps because alcohol in nature is associated with ripe, extra sweet fruits?

Such a classic, we're all the same.
