Chronically lonely flies overeat and lose sleep
So I googled &quot;the social life of flies&quot; and found:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phys.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018-03-social-life-humble-fruit-revolves.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phys.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018-03-social-life-humble-fruit-revol...</a><p><i>Humans aren&#x27;t the only species with a well-developed drinking culture. The social life of the humble fruit fly also revolves around alcohol.</i><p><i>Their favorite food, rotting fruit, ferments into a beer-strength quaff. Courtship often involves swarming boozy locales and getting frisky after imbibing. Flies also use alcohol as a palliative, taking to drink after repeated sexual rejection. And like humans, flies develop &quot;drinking problems.&quot;</i>
