Maybe this explains why I have so many hanging around my RV.

Fruit flies can be alcoholics too.

That is one drunk fly! I'll bet he's a blast at parties!
They need to give him a tiny lampshade to put on his head, or maybe a tiny telephone, so he can call ex-girlfriends at 3am.

This fruit fly has been exposed to ethanol vapor, which renders it uncoordinated.
