You don't say..... New fad on campus is "Drunkorexia" — combining the worst aspects of binge drinking and eating disorders. It is a condition by which college students skip meals to control their weight, saving both money (and calories) they can then use to drink. A new study from the University of Missouri found that 16 percent of college students engage in the practice, including three times as many females as males. -------------------------- A new "stay sober" tablet reportedly is under development in Australia. The pill, which limits the effect of alcohol on the brain, is being tested on mice — who showed no signs of becoming "tipsy," despite being administered enough alcohol to make them "fall over," reports Britain's Telegraph ----------------------------- Clifton Vial, 52, wound up stuck in a snowdrift off a rural highway in eastern Alaska. All he had was a few cans of Coors Light, frozen solid. Fortunately even Coors Light contains calories to keep a person functioning. Vial says he ate the beer like beans from a can. He cut the lids off and dug it out with a knife. He has fully recovered. -------------------------------- In a large study of older adults, University of Texas researchers found that mortality rates were significantly lower for drinkers than for teetotalers. Among drinkers, heavy partakers (4-plus drinks a day) had a higher mortality rate than did moderate ones (1–3 drinks a day). Still, even the heavy drinkers lived longer than non-drinkers |
