Drunk and amorous

January 7, 2008 by cemery

This from Baltimore Sun science writer, Dennis O'Brian:

Researchers at Penn State say that getting flies drunk heightens their sex drive to a point where males either can't tell or don't care about the sex of the mate they're pursuing -- drunken males chased females and males alike. They also bump into each other and bump into the walls of their glass enclosure.

More about the research is posted on The Sun's science and technology blog Science Matters.
