Even the Zombies who got turned into such by Constellis' tainted booze appear to be this, as if some lingering remnants of their Humanity drive them to towards Constelli distillery so they can taste the booze still stored there, a distraction which allowed Vinnie and Paulie (who went back to destroy the distillery with dynamite) to escape.
