WEDNESDAY, Aug. 20 (HealthDay News) -- If you're a minor or already drunk, many vendors in American sports stadiums will still gladly sell you a beer or other alcoholic beverage.
That's the finding from a new study that suggests stadiums aren't doing enough to keep booze away from those who shouldn't drink.
People who clearly appeared underage were able to buy alcohol 18 percent of the time at 16 professional sport stadiums in five states, and actors who seemed to be drunk were able to make purchases nearly three-fourths of the time.

Many of us have been there at some time in our lives.
We go out for the night, drink a little too much, and suddenly the world is a better - and better-looking - place.
The slang-term is 'beer-goggles'. And not only do we tend to find members of the opposite sex more attractive, we also find same sex people that way.
A study from Britain took 84 people and analyzed their reactions to members of the opposite sex. Some of the participants were sober, some had consumed alcohol.

FRIDAY, July 18 (HealthDay News) -- If busy bars and blasting music seem to go hand in hand, new research from France suggests that might be because loud music encourages more drinking.
The finding is reported in the October issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, and is drawn from research led by Nicolas Gueguen, a professor of behavioral sciences at the Université de Bretagne-Sud in France.

I just read a helpful post about the differences between green and white tea, and it made me realize I also have some tea questions! Here they are:
1. If black, green and white teas have the same amount of antioxidants, why is green tea known to be "healthier"? Is there something else that green tea, and perhaps white tea, has that black tea does not?
