Following a seven-month refurbishment at Disney World, 'Liver Lips McGrowl' did not make a return on the Country Bear Jamboree attraction.

....

According to the Disney Inside the Magic blog, the bear's name was considered derogatory to alcoholics.

"The decision to remove Liver Lips McGrowl was driven by concerns over the character’s name," they wrote in a statement. 'Liver lips' is said to be associated with excessive alcohol consumption, leading to liver damage.

We're now at a place where we are concerned about offending alcoholics with the name of animatronic bears at theme parks.
