Great news, but becoming a Drosophila melanogaster is going to be tough for me at my age ...

The night before I quit drinking in 1989, I had been drinking tequila with friends and ordering marguritas by the pitcher.

It’s referring to a gene called, “tequila.”

Yes they really love my apple and pear cores. Now all we need to do is find out if there are people with the “hypomorphic mutation of Tequila (Teq f01792),”. Then we can test to see if folks with this gene have better insulin regulation with alcohol including tequila than folks who don’t have it.

Two shots of Tequila and I can dance, even those funny dances from Mexico like the cumbia.

Three shots of Tequila and I’m the life of the party.

Four shots of Tequila and I’m unbelievably handsome.

Five shots of Tequila and I’m a chick magnet, including wives of business associates and best friends.

Six shots of Tequila and I’m a real badass. Back off Federales!

Seven or more shots of Tequila and I’m invisible and bulletproof.
