Is really not like that. what theyre trying to say is that a substance in ethanol reduces the inhibitions in certain species boosting the libido and making them hypersexual such case as humans. You really cant be that black and white about saying alcohol makes people gay or water makes them straight!! thats just simply ignorant hatred. and just to make sure, im not a homophobic my brother is gay and i love him and accept him for who he is.

this just proves that if a gay guy wants to get with a straight guy, all he needs to do is give him some booze :p

most people already knew that, but sciene now provides proof :p
