Are insects affected by alcohol?

[Zacs-Master]

Just rescued a laydybird type thing from my ice cold lager in the Corfu sunshine and just wondered.

[Zacs-Master]

Any etymog...entymog...etymopo....people who know about insects?

If it put his shades on and lays back then you know he's enjoying the Sun as well.

[Zacs-Master]

He's enjoying the sun.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But to get back to your question, wasps certainly get very pissed up and aggressive on fermenting windfall apples

Wasps get so drunk on my plums I can just pick them up (the wasps)

[Zacs-Master]

That must be painfull.

Taxi for Howard.

I think so. A fly told me I was his best mate the other day and we ended up having a fight.

Crikey Ludwig was it Geoff Goldblum?

[ludwig]

Don't think so zacs - just a standard housefly. I didn't ask his name.

That link is funny Howard ;-) albeit Spiders not insects.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks for pointing out the difference Ark.

I put a glass of beer out to kill off the slugs and snails and after having their fill they all crawled out again - obviously none the worse for wear and very happy.

Don't know about insects though. I suppose they are affected in that they would drown.

Ice cold lager and Corfu sounds great.
