‘New Mexico has taken its fight against drunken driving to men’s restrooms around the state.

‘A brewery here has succeeded in producing a low-malt beer with milk, after the drink was suggested as a product that would help use up surplus milk.
The drink, called “Bilk” will go on sale on Feb. 1. It reportedly has a fruity flavor that its brewers hope will be popular among women.
The idea for the drink was conceived after dairy firms threw out a huge amount of surplus milk in March last year. The son of the manager of a liquor store in Nakashibetsu, whose main industry is dairy farming, suggested the idea of producing the milk beer to local brewery Abashiri Beer.’

`Problem drinkers often don’t know how to take a joke or understand a punchline, according to German researchers.
In their study of 29 recovering alcoholic patients in a clinic in the western German city of Bochum, participants were tested to measure their mood, intellectual ability, memory, psychomotor skills and capacity to appreciate jokes. [..]

`Des Moines police this morning used a striking instrument and pepper spray on a woman they later learned was pregnant in an effort to stop her from eating what they believed was marijuana.

‘A Ukrainian couple have killed and eaten their neighbor who popped in for a drink, the Gazeta-po-Ukrainsky (Newspaper in Ukrainian) reports.
The accident took place in the town of Makeyevka. A 36-year old resident of the city and his 34-year-old girlfriend invited their 48-year old neighbor for a drink. After the party that lasted several hours the two men entered started argument that developed into a fight. Eventually, the couple killed their neighbor with a knife and a hammer.
At first, the killers wanted to get rid of the body, but the woman persuaded her partner to eat the meat, so they cut off the tender parts of the body and put them in the fridge. Then, they carried what was left of the cadaver out of their home and dumped it in a sewage well.’
It seems that Ukrainian newspapers have no qualms about publishing full colour pictures of mutilated/partially consumed corpses. And, neither do I. 🙂

`While it can be argued that a miniscule handful of professional wrestlers matched Andre’s in-ring achievements (Gorgeous George back in the ‘40s and ‘50s, perhaps; Dusty Rhodes in the ‘70s, and Hulk Hogan, without a doubt, in the ‘80s), no other wrestler ever matched his exploits as a drunkard. In fact, no other human has ever matched Andre as a drinker. He is the zenith. He is the Mount Everest of inebriation.
As far as great drunkards go, there is Andre the Giant, and then there is everyone else.
The big man loved two things: wrestling and booze—mostly booze—and his appetites were of mythic proportion.’

`A drugs and alcohol expert says road deaths could be reduced in Queensland if the legal drinking age went back to 21.
The legal drinking age was lowered in 1974 from 21 to 18.
Professor Wayne Hall of the University of Queensland, who has researched the effects of drinking on young people, said that where the legal drinking age in the US was raised to 21 in the 1980s, road fatalities fell.
“I think it’s a possibility that we should seriously consider and one we should be debating,” he said.’
