Looked into liquor delivery for today since I didn't feel like walking, and including fees and tip, it was an extra $20.

So I walked to the store and spent that extra $20 on more liquor.

How else am I supposed to get through Trump's second term?

Which country in the EU is home to the continent's heaviest drinkers?

When it comes to drinking, it seems that lifestyle habits in Europe have largely changed our relationship with alcohol for the better.

Alcohol consumption in the EU has declined by 0.5 litres between 2010 and 2020. Bucking the trend, several countries have increased their consumption.

Which countries have the highest rate of decrease and rise?

EurekAlert!Alcohol makes male flies sexyA team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has investigated why the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster drinks alcohol and has shown that alcohol has a direct and positive effect on the mating success of male flies. This effect is due to the increased production of sex pheromones after alcohol consumption, which makes males that have consumed alcohol more attractive to females. Male flies are therefore strongly attracted to alcohol, especially when they are not yet mated. Three different neural circuits in the flies' brains control the response when the flies smell alcohol: While two olfactory receptors are responsible for attracting male flies to small amounts of alcohol, a third ensures that excessive amounts have a deterrent effect. Because alcohol is toxic, the flies must carefully weigh the risks and benefits of drinking alcohol.

Male fruit flies have three different brain circuits that allow them to regulate their alcohol intake so that it is sufficient to stimulate production of sex pheromones (leading to greater mating success) while avoiding intoxication.

Methanol is particularly effective at stimulating pheromone production. Don't try this at home.
