Don’t scientist have anything better to do than worry about fruit flies having sex? Apparently not. In an Associated Press story, researchers have discovered if male fruit flies are rejected by a female, they will choose alcohol-laced food over regular food. In other words, if she says no, the men knock back a few beers - in the fruit fly world.
The conclusion from the "research" is that if male fruit flies are spurned, then human males must be the same. In other words, sexual rejection could drive somebody (males) to drink. You may also want to know that when males were placed with dead virgin females, they still didn’t have sex and still hit the sauce.
"I think it’s a pretty good bet that it will translate to humans," said Ulrike Heberlein of the University of California, San Francisco. Is this what is being taught in college?
How much trust can you put into people that watch fruit flies have sex? Maybe the scientist have been nipping with the fruit flies.
