Don`t you just love scientific studies this explains so much!! NEW YORK (AP) — Guys, when your sweetheart says "No thanks" to sex, do you knock back a few stiff drinks to feel better? Turns out fruit flies do pretty much the same thing. That's the word from a new study that may explain why both species react that way. In Friday's issue of the journal Science, researchers propose a biological explanation for why "Not tonight, dear" may lead to "Gimme another beer." If it proves true in people, it may help scientists find new medications to fight alcoholism. In that case, we can thank thousands of frustrated flies. article here http://news.yahoo.com/barflies-sex-deprived-male-flies-booze-181335316.html
