UTEP biologists Paul Sabandal, Ph.D., left, and Kyung-An Han, Ph.D., right, stand in the laboratory next to an experiment that exposed fruit flies to ethanol vapor. The experiment was created to replicate humans drinking in solitary versus group settings. The team has taken a key step in understanding the neurobiological process behind social drinking and how it boosts feelings of euphoria.
