Alcohol consumption has a direct and positive effect on the mating success of male fruit flies. This effect is due to the increased production of sex pheromones after alcohol consumption: males who have consumed alcohol are more attractive to females. Male flies are therefore strongly attracted to alcohol, especially if they have not yet mated. Three different neural circuits in the flies‘ brains control the response when the flies smell alcohol.
