Used to be a bartender once upon a time, I personally enjoyed mixing drinks. Drinks as in cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic (mocktails). My specialties - Long Island Tea, Margarita and Pinna Colada. Yes, all very common. So I decided to search the internet for new and unique cocktail recipes. And boy, look what I found!
Sex in the Shower
Fill Shaker with Ice
1 oz Blue Curacao
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Butterscotch schnapps
2 oz Orange juice

Safe Sex on the Beach
3 oz Cranberry juice
3 oz Grapefruit juice
2 oz Peach nectar
Maraschino cherry
Pour over ice in a chilled glass and stir. Garnish with a cherry.
You heard of Sex on The Beach cocktail? […]

I talked last week about the pros and cons of lowering the drinking age back to 18. One of the cons that I had assumed was that lowering the drinking age would increase the number of traffic fatalities in the 18-20 cohort.
A study from NBER disputes this argument. Miron and Tetelbaum looked at the data from different states that voluntarily raised their drinking ages to 21 before federal law tied highways funds to that age in 1984 — forcing to states to raise the age. They wanted to understand the time course of changes in traffic fatalities both before and after the implementation of different laws (called in their study Minimum Legal Drinking Ages or MLDAs) for the 18-20 cohort.
Their primary argument is that most of the reduction in traffic fatalities in the 18-20 cohort happened in states that raised their MLDA prior to the federal law […]

I have talked a little before about alternative strategies to lowering college alcohol abuse — alternative meaning as opposed to outright bans like the 21 drinking age.
Now a set of college presidents are circulating something called the Amethyst Initiative whose goal is to lower the drinking age back from 21 to 18. (For those of you who don’t remember the drinking age was raised from 18 to 21 under the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 by tying raising the age to receipt of highway funding from the federal government. This act was championed by then Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole. Incidentally, yes, I know that the law has various loopholes for supervised drinking in private and drinking for religious ceremonies. What we are talking about here is limits on college students going to a liquor store and buying beer.)
The Amethyst Initiative is being […]

If you’ve woken up after a wild New Year’s Eve party with a nasty hangover, Angela Epstein of the Daily Mail has written this handy guide on (some strange) ways to minimize the symptoms and cure the headache, nausea and body aches:
RUB YOUR ARMPITS WITH LEMON
Puerto Ricans apparently swear by this holistic cure. The lemon juice supposedly stops you sweating and so helps you retain fluid and prevent the dehydration that contributes to hangover headaches. […]
