The king issued a statement calling the accusation "ridiculous." Advertisement Some speculate that local authorities intoxicated the bear for the king's hunting pleasure, using honey-laced vodka. A regional Russian hunting official sent a letter to Russian officials earlier this week, alleging the bear shot by the king in August was indeed drunk.
