Alcohol

So It's been a busy 2 weeks for me and I haven't had much of a chance to post.  But I wanted to say thanks to those who answered my poll questions.  And I just wanted to give a little information about alcohol, since I decided to skip the whole vegetarian thing.  Anways as a college student, I know that alcohol can be a problem for some people.  college students want to go to parties and have fun, but it's important to know what is safe.  It's recommended that men drink only 2 alcoholic drinks per day and women 1.  Everyone hears that and they through it right out the window, so maybe if they knew that binge drinking for a man is 4-5 drinks and 4 for a woman.  Binge drinking much like binge eating is unhealthy, you consume too many calories from alcohol and you inhibit the absorbtion of healthy nutrients in your intestines.  Not to mention the many side effects including hangovers, nasuea, vomiting, being disoriented, losing things, and the list goes on.  My point is not that people shouldn't drink, but we should drink withing the limits and be safe.  I personally know at least three people who have died from drinking and driving, and know countless others who have been injured and/or got in trouble with the law.  So remember to make sure you have a driver you can trust.  There's also a lot of research out there if you want to know more about how to stay safe and still be able to have a few drinks.  I just wanted to say a little about what I've been hearing lately.
