<\/center>\nTurns out humans aren’t the only people who head to the bar stools when their sex lives go dry, according to a recent study by University of California San Francisco. Not unlike a guy who has just been turned down by a woman he’s into, the study found that rejected male fruit flies are more likely to turn to booze to soothe themselves.
\nFrom Tecca<\/a>:<\/p>\n
The strange experiment consisted of placing a male and female fruit fly in a plastic dish along with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic food sources. The researchers found that male flies who were rejected in their courtship attempts turned to the booze much more frequently than suitors who were deemed acceptable. <\/p>\n
The reason for the fly’s reliance on alcohol appears to be tied to the release of neuropeptide F, a pleasure chemical that is released during courtship. When the flies consumed the booze, the chemical is also released, allowing them to self-medicate much like some human depression sufferers do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, maybe it’s a biological trait that makes us crave the sweet sweet taste of booze after a rough break up or rejection… what does that mean for humans? Well dudes, it’s time to get a hair cut, clean up that neck beard, and find yourself a reliable booty call… otherwise your body might make you hit the bottle. Booty call or booze – you decide!<\/p>\n\n
