4. Fruit flies get drunk when sad – While most human being tend to take shelter under over consumption of liquor because of sadness from a broken relationship; the same tendencies are noticed even in fruit flies. Since fruit flies are very sexual beings in the first place, researchers found out what would happen when they were sexually rejected. This happens often with them, because female fruit flies are prudish things, as they don’t like having sex a second time after they’ve recently mated. Hence fruit flies feed on huge meals of alcohol-soaked food.
