Drunken flies get hypersexual from Nature News Alert
From the annals of insect biology comes a cautionary tale for those recovering from their post-New Year’s celebration: heavy boozing has been shown to send male fruitflies, like their human counterparts, into a lusty fog.
In the flies, hypersexuality caused by chronic alcohol exposure has the effect of making the males chase anything with wings — other males included.
WTF moment- Why would anyone want to get the fruit-flies drunk??
