Who would have thought it.... Alcohol makes you gay

My scientific studies from watching tv commercials, and some shows, is that it is what you drink, how you drink and who you drink with, not just drinking in general.
For example, it is clear that drinking lite beer or straight shots of whiskey is one thing, while Shirley Temples, etc. is another.
Also, it is how you drink. Straight out of the bottle or can is, well, straight. Demanding the proper $100 glass for every different wine or spirit is not.
Finally, drinking heavily with, say, female super-models is different than drinking with male super models.
There are scientific variables to all this of course. For example, drinking with Brittney Spears will make anyone gay. Just look at here male fans.
Who needs expensive research and stuff when it is all there in high def?

Lightweights.Come on now everybody knows a straight guy turns gay after four pints of lager.
How can you put light beer and shots of whisk(e)y in the same category? I'd rather drink Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers than Miller/Bud(Butt?)/Coors/whatever lite/light.
And don't get me started on Michelob Ultra.
AHEM.
Yeah, that's true, probably not the best counterexample in the world. Obviously, I should learn more about C. elegans, since I'm going to have to use it as a model system, though it makes little difference to me how it actually reproduces.
I guess my point, though, was that I'd be a little surprised if all of these effects, especially the toxin-induced effects like this one, were very well conserved. But I know nothing about the physiology of sexual behavior, so I'm just talking out of my ***.

My tv research clearly shows that when men drink lite beer, beautiful women with barely covered great bodies are always trying to get their attention.
Now, I must admit that we don't know if these girls are swinging from both sides of the plate, especially during baseball season. And there is always the question of why the guys seem to be more interested in stealing each other's beer, sitting on the couch together and watching the game than chasing after the hot girls.
People like to waste their time all the time. They come up with the dumbest things to do instead of focusing on the real problems.
What exactly are the real problems? Is researching new microprocessor technology a waste of time because it's not researching AIDS? Is researching AIDS a waste of time because it's not researching cancer? Is researching cancer a waste of time because it's not researching interplanetary travel to save the human race? Is interplanetary travel a waste of time because the human race is doomed when the universe collapses or burns out?
No research is a waste of time if it reveals a new understanding about the world around us. You go into research with a hypothesis to test not knowing what the results will be. The measure of a successful research project is one that raises more questions than it answers. In turn novel results are only a waste of time in the eyes of those who aren't creative enough to see an application.
This is bull. I'm 14 years old, gay, and I've never drank alcohol in my life. This is a load of crap. You can't make someone gay.
Yeah that is true, you can't just make someone gay (or make someone straight for that matter) but substances such as alcohol *can* make someone act or feel gay. I'm straight, but believe me, after enough pints I'd kiss my mates like any other
Won't make people gay, but will make people do things they normally wouldn't do. I think Sexuality is just the tip of the iceberg. I've seen drunk people pick fights that they'd be lucky to survive - never-mind "win".
Seen drunk people smash things near and dear to them, trying to be funny or what not.
Seen a drunk kid use his bed as a urinal, then sleep in it.
So - Alcohol - equals Gay? No. Alcohol make you do Gay things? Far more likely. But as for waking up, still craving the same sex the next day? - not likely.

Fruit flies are probably as inhibited as the rest of us when it comes to sexual orientation. It's all those ones who are "a little bit gay" in the first place whose natural ambivalence breaks through as their inhibitions break down....
Or wait until he becomes old and senile, apparently.So the key to bagging a hot straight guy I have a crush on is to repeatedly get him drunk and desensitize him to my amorous behavior...
Yeah I really think that's a better conclusion, the dropping the inhibitions I think would be the main result of gay or really stupid behavior.
Homosexual behavior has been observed in many, many species. It's not just a human thing at all.
Trust me, I've seen the neighborhood dogs, and once had a cable subscription to HBO - I'm well aware that homosexuality isn't limited to just us.
But Flies - that just blew me away.
Do they have prettier wings, and better mannerisms when it comes to regurgitating on your sandwich immediately after landing?
I want to see a "Fabulous Flies" show. Queer Compound-Eye - for the Straight Fly.
