Just try not to swallow the fly. I've heard if it gets inside you, the only way to get rid of it is to swallow a spider

That depends on what score the judges gives the fly.

Below 5, drink away, he was holding his team back.

5-7, still no big loss, but showing improvement, so if you can remove the fly, he might perform better next time.

8-9, his team will take a big hit if you drink him, you should immadiately rescue him.

10, it is your duty to not only save him, and for the next 17 days you are responsible for acting as his bodyguard

Lol ... I was born and raised in northern Ontario. I'm indigenous and I've spent a lot of time in the northern wilderness which has lots and lots of swamp land and in the summer hosts billions of biting insects.

My parents were born in the bush so life out there was normal for us.

I remember spending summers out camping in July with clouds of black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, midges and sand flies.... when we drank a cup of tea by the fire, you first had to skim off the drowning insects before taking a sip.

I think one fly in your wine is OK

Sure. Extra protein.

It’s safe and it’s ok to do so. Whether it’s socially acceptable depends on whether you sing the “Shoo Fly! Don’t bother me!” song as a fun little kid’s song or if you do the whole 1860’s minstrel show version.

For what it's worth, here's a study.

Do fruit flies carry any diseases? Fruit flies do not carry infectious agents on the inside of their bodies. They are not disease vectors. However, they can carry bacteria on the outside of their bodies and transmit them by contact with fruits or vegetables, which can cause disease when consumed.

Is it safe to eat food that has been touched by fruit flies? No, it is not safe. If food was touched by fruit flies, there may be bacteria that cause disease. The appropriate strategy is to remove the damaged area of the food or to dispose of it.

Can fruit flies be harmful to humans? Fruit flies are not harmful to humans. They do not bite or sting. They also don't have venom. However, when fruit flies wound ripe fruit or vegetables to lay eggs, bacteria can enter the food, and when humans consume it, they can get a disease.

What happens if you eat a fruit fly? There is no scientific evidence of diseases caused by eating a fruit fly. Also, there is no scientific evidence that eating the fruit fly's eggs can cause disease.

I'm not dead, so probably

Probably fine... you might want to skip it if the fruit flies all died shortly after drinking it though.

As long as it didn't drink the whole thing.

Takes a lot more than that to keep me from my wine.

Depends, if you drink my glass of wine with my fruit fly in it we have issues.

If the fruit fly lived then the wine is safe to drink. If not, the wine may be poisoned.

Oh sure! After all, wine not?

Five second rule.

Depends if your vegan or not.

I'd chase it with a shot of vodka to disinfect your system for a good measure

As long as you aren't vegan

Only if you get the fly to spit out what it drank. Can't let it get away with it!

Don't drink wine, alcohol is bad for you.

"But a study said that-" No amount of wine is good for you, those studies were all bought and paid for by the wine industry.

Financially; yes

Morally; also yes

Sure. It just means you got a drinking buddy!

Depends, is there a garbage dump nearby?

I mean, if you're ok with double dipping, then go wild!

Only if you're a social drinker.
