Researchers: Beer Can Make You A Mosquito Magnet

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- When sitting outside, do you often find yourself bombarded by mosquitoes?

It may have something to do with what you are drinking.

Researchers say that those who drink even a small amount of beer are more likely to be bitten than those who drink hard liquor or wine.

Still, avoiding beer doesn't mean you're in the clear.  Studies have shown the pesky bugs may aim for some people because of their DNA.

Researchers say further studies are needed to determine which genes are responsible for the attraction.

Until then, load up on the bug spray!
