    Why European Fruit Flies Hold Their Liquor Better Than Tropical Ones

    http://www.iflscience.com/plants-an...-flies-hold-their-liquor-better-tropical-ones

    "Fruit flies have a taste for alcohol. We already know that they’re to thank for our pleasing beer aromas. And as it turns out, some fruit flies can hold their liquor better than others, thanks to a naturally evolved ethanol resistance. The findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Biology this week. "

    Were not the only animals out there getting drunk! I say that's something worth celebrating.

    I'm sure our Merican fruit flies could kick both their asses :stuck_out_tongue: Good quick read. I presume based on my lineage, I'm European fruit fly with a little Heinz 57 thrown in...
