An amazone buying a small bottle of honeyant-wine from a fennekim merchant. For a fennec the bottle equals a 1 liter bottle for a human by volume, the honeyant-wine however in its potency has the effect on a fennec like 2 liters of rum plus energy drinks. Amazones, being wise, usually stretch the drink 1:10 to 1:20 before consuming it, and often use it to spice hot tea with a few drops of it.
A bottle fennekim Honeyant-Wine equals roughly the following mixture:
1 tincan beer ( 0,33l )
5 large spoons honey
2 large spoons energy drink
I personally doubt it's healthy. The Energy drink represents the part the slightly psychoactive mushrooms the honeyants cultivate in their tunnels provide ot the mixture. For humans the traces of psychoactive substances are a more relevant concern than the alcohol or sugar level in the drink.
Consider that a fennekim with 4ft / 1,2m weighs between 20 and 30kg only.
For such a being such an amount of sugar and alcohol is already by human standards a bad idea. It get's worse when you consider that their metabolism is unable to handle any noticeable amounts of sugar. Amazones as herbivores are much better able to cope with high sugary content, but whilst they by volume alone are able to give a human a hard battle on the bottle, they feel uncomfortable loosing self control, so unless given a really good reason you'll seldomly find an amazone in a drunk condition. Accordingly they do use the fennekims high-powered "beer" sparingly.
To compare effects on a Fennekim's metabolism to human standards you'd have to convert the receipe as follows:
0,5l rum or schnaps
350g honey
150ml high-powered energydrink
And now consider that this 1kg of high-turning booze is to a human what to a fennekim is his 0,25l bottle.
During a party or celebration fennekims easily down two to three of those bottles.
You can imagine that they are literally running the walls up and down.

Well, Kids with ADHS would look "totally normal and calm" amongst fennekim.
Matter of fact: Normal healthy kids who might stress out their mothers otherwise can exhaust themselves amongst fennekim.
And the mental setup even of a grown fennekim in regards to playing "hunt and fetch" or doing silly things for the sheer fun of it for a few minutes simply to get rid of their excessive energies is very compatible with a human child.
Imagine a human kid in a fennekim town at market day. Whislt in a human town the kid would be considered a source of chaos, almost every fennekim will be happy to spend 5 minutes doing somethign silly with a kid, like running around, hunting each other all over a tree or other stalls roofs.
For grown up humans these five minute breaks usually are to take a smoke, to drink a mug of coffee or to talk.
Activities which amazones can appreciate - except for the smoking as it tickeles their instincts.
Amazones accept the fennekims hyperactivity as normal, as it is this particular hyperactivity which makes them so useful in the military.
One of the reasons why amazones let fennekims sleep upon their bellies and with their heads between their breasts is that that way the heartbeat of the amazones is heard and felt by the fennekim, which slows them down and calms them, making them sleep peacefully.
Fennekims who were on extended tours of duty literally become sober for the first time in their life. Some find that the sudden added clarity of mind allows them to better get along with the ladies, and in the future only use spiced tea. These often become the most successful merchants and teachers.
Others do not connect this soberness with the absence of their beloved honeyant-wine and consider it merely the effect of the rigorous physical excercise - these often stay in the military as they enjoy it, too, and become the true professionals in the military, often sought after as military trainers for fennekim recruits.
Finally there are those who find that dangers suddenly indeed are dangerous, and who afterwards embrace the life in the cities again to the fullest, often turning out to become the best artists and crafters, as they throw themselves with their booze-boosted vigor at their choosen tasks. They usually are the crafters , builders, designers, musicians of the fennekim people.
A very few fennekim realize and understand the workings of the sugary alcohol on their system - and seek to intensify these thrills.
They either become the religious teachers, spiritual advisors, social counsellors, or, when they exceed their own expectations in their experiments with drugs and fancy substances, they turn into so-called "Derwishim", amongst the fennekim that's the kind of people that roam the world to make it a better place, like Don Quijote, Conan the Barbarian, Lawrence of Arabia, Ghandi, or any other number of people who in their own way set forth to make the world a better , safer , saner place. In cities those "crackpots" are often the best storytellers, the magicians. On a scale of 1-10 they'd rate a clear 11 to 12 on intuition and reflexes.
Jedi go home.
This list leaves out, however, those that turn themselves into vegetables. Because those are very few, fortunately.
From a human point of view those fennekim literally burn their fuses with drugs suitable to make an elephant think he's flying.
