they chew, swallow, vomit up cud and then chew it again and swallow it again sending it to a separate stomach?
which in turn goes to the other stomachs before being shat out?

It ferments
and as andythepieman spotted below, when sugar ferments it turns to alcohol...so basically if you feed sugar beets to cows they make their own booze and get drunk

Nope
I heard this about cows eating windfall apples and having to call a vet. He thought his cows had BSE cos they were staggering around. Apparantly the apples had fermented because cows digest things slowly and they were alll rat arsed. I wonder what a cow with a hangover looks like?
