Male fruit flies drink more alcohol to get females to like them

- aureliusm 1y agoPure gold... "...male fruit flies, essentially, know when they've reached the optimal level of inebriation to attract more females and successfully mate, before they become so intoxicated that they repulse the females, or approach other males by mistake."
- Bluestein 1y agoI ... thought this worked the other way around ... ... I mean, it's usually 'em females that have to be inebriated to like me.-/s
- actionfromafar 1y agoThat's just an indication you're not a fruit fly. :)
- Bluestein 1y agoNice catch.-
- CRConrad 1y agoSo, just like humans, then. (Thought I'd have to read the article to find out if they're any more successful than we are, but thanks to aureliusm's comment, I won't. Too depressing, being beaten by those annoying little gnats.)
