This may be the newest pick up line in a bar since “What’s your sign?” The reply might be something like “I don’t know what type are you?”
Thanks to the good people at the NIH (National institutes of health) this answer couldn’t come at a better time. With the holidays approaching and the office parties […]

Recently while doing a bit of reading and research about alcohol treatment and rehabilitation, I stumbled upon a few very interesting articles and then I followed the threads from there, and into what seems to me a fantasy world of delusion and denial. From there it went into one of perverse irony and implausible denial.

At the risk of dating myself (I’m old if you must know) I’ve gotten a kick out the recent marketing campaigns of certain beverage companies such as Miller and Anheuser Busch with some of their new energy drinks they go beyond the burgeoning market and now incorporate alcohol (ETOH) into them.
What’s entertaining to me? Well […]

As if you don’t have enough problems already you’re about to get another one. Yes that’s right Liver disease, pancreatitus, jail, loss of life, loved ones well of course I could go on and on. Be it a DUI or the myriad of other potential issues drinking to excess and on a regular or even daily basis may cause, you’re about to get tested by anyone who may have the authority to do so to see just how much you’ve had in the past few weeks.

A nation in pain

This was mind-numbing (pun intended) news when I read it. The good old USofA my country tis of thee is consuming extraordinary amounts of pain medication up 90%. Hundreds of thousands of pounds (about 300mgs for every single American) worth of some very potent narcotics has been proscribed over the past ten years.

Hey everybody, I know it’s been quite a while but unfortunately things like the time to write here are a luxury. Such is life.

Since I last wrote here I’ve stumbled upon a few interesting web sites that folks who stop here and read might enjoy visiting once in a while or even more regularly than that.

The first site wants you to vote, and to vote your conscious at that. Now while most voting has mostly some form of political agenda in mind this site promotes a sensible and logical idea, one that contains more than just a modicum of common sense Vote hemp.
