Alcohol Benefits
Researchers from Emory University have discovered that the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) to consume alcohol to be used as medicine. The flies are drinking alcohol to expel parasites that exist in his body.
This of course will impact on alcohol consumption by humans is not entirely negative or damaging the body.
"We believe what we found has shown that alcohol consumption may have a protective effect against infectious diseases, especially against parasites that invade through the blood," said Dr. Todd Schlenke, author of the study published in scientificamerican.com.
Todd is also an expert at Emory University evolutionary geneticist added, "Fruit flies may be able to adapt to alcohol, therefore used as a drug. But then we tried to raise the question becomes, if the flies could use alcohol to control parasites in the blood, other organisms including humans possible to control parasites in the blood by using high doses of alcohol? "
Todd studied two species of wasps lay their eggs and larvae in the fruit fly. When the wasp eggs hatch, the baby wasps eat fly larvae from the inside out. If you consume a lot of alcohol fruit flies, wasps difficult to lay their eggs in the larvae of flies. Even if the bees do it, there will be lots of eggs that hatched.
Inside the fruit is ripe, fly larvae consume 5-15% alcohol. "They (the flies) generally live with alcohol," said Tood.
Tood also said that he wanted to test whether flies consume alcohol can prevent what is called "endoparasitoid" wasps that eat the flies from the inside out. So to a study appearing in the journal Current Biology, the researchers releasing some flies on petri dishes containing food flies (6% alcohol on half of the plate and the free alcohol on the other side).
After 24 hours, 80 percent of the infected flies wasp eggs on the side of alcohol, while only 30 percent of the uninfected larvae of fruit flies were on the other side is free of alcohol.
"The results were very surprising," said Tood. "Flies are infected accidentally consume alcohol. Due to consume alcohol flies can extend their survival."

Columbus and his crew landed at Plymouth Rock instead because of its beauty but because that's where they ran out of beer.
The meaning of the story by Tood is they know that the sailors who make it healthy is beer. If not why Henry VII ensure its vessels carrying more beer than food. Or during the Spanish expedition, John Stile wrote to the king, "Your Majesty, the biggest drawback is the way the stock of beer."
