yes, but the big question is whether it allowed them to develop cry in your beer country western to go with it...

I'm leaving this comment without even reading the article one bit, all I'm saying is this sounds ridiculous...

Alright It's been about 15 minutes, I read it.

It's still ridiculous.

Instead of going for the drink, why not go for other fruit flies like Newt?

Do the sex deprived fruit flies thumb through the pages of play-fly after getting sozzled?

I wonder, if elevated levels of peptide-Y are enough to stop the flies from seeking other rewards, isn't peptide-Y a narcotic in itself?

These kinds of studies are very important to biomedical science. Using a fruit fly model is much cheaper and easier than using larger animal models, so 'crazy ideas' are more likely to be tested.

Like fruitflies, I think it's understandable that those people who are rejected want to drink more - it numbs the pain. Sometimes, it's about the only thing that does.

Ahhhh, now I understand why I'm drinking so much.
