Mosquitos and beer
Faith -- The likely link is CO2, carbon dioxide.
Mosquitos and other mini predators are attracted by CO2 emitted by their prey through exhaled breath, dermatological release of CO2 and other factors. Beer, as a carbonated beverage, has bubbles that burst at the surface and release, guess what, CO2.
You may want to check this out with scientists, I'm only a recovering journalist. But I think it makes sense!
Keep up the good work,
