Alcohol....and Flies?

The article explains how they (North Carolina State University) have done research showing that flies can adapt to alcohol exposure. The researchers studied how much time it took the flies to stagger from the intake of alcohol. What I found interesting was that they're testing this on FLIES. When, in reality, flies aren't the ones who suffer from alcohol addiction, at least not to my knowledge. I don't agree with this study at all. I know it would be inhumane to test this same experiment on human beings, but come on, FLIES?
