Cannabis linked to earlier psychosis onset
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 10 Sep 2008 05:39 PM EDT
Researchers from Spain have found a strong and independent link between cannabis use and the onset of psychosis at a younger age. The association, they say, cannot be explained by chance, and is not related to gender or the use of other drugs. It is, however, related to the amount of cannabis used. More>>> Saturday, August 30

by
Riley Jones
on Sat 30 Aug 2008 12:58 PM EDT
I don’t know why people love ragging on other people’s beers. You never see people this jumpy about wine coolers. But I do know how to capitalize on a trend. Here at Cracked, we take a certain pride in our ability to mock other people for many diverse reasons, ranging from their religious views to their lame superpowers. And we want to help you, the reader. Below is a simple list of arguments you can bring up when drinking at the bar, on the beach or in the sauna, which will help you prove conclusively why the beer you’re drinking makes your genitals ten times larger than the other guy (or girl.)

Why do bars play loud, sucky music? Here comes the science
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 04 Aug 2008 10:29 AM EDT
If you're ever worried that you've had one too many drinks after a night of bar-hopping, you might want to ask yourself: Are my ears ringing? Because it turns out that when the music gets loud, we tend to drain our mug of brew faster. That’s according to a study to be published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.

The 10 Most Ill-Conceived Booze Brand Names
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 03 Aug 2008 01:00 PM EDT
#6: "Pusser's Rum" Members of the British Navy, back when they were out sailing into mysterious foreign ports to bayonet the locals and open post offices, were kept from mutiny largely by a daily allotment--a "tot"--of rum. Sure there was the scurvy, the filthy living conditions and, if you were the cabin boy, the constant fear of being raped and/or eaten, but none of that would seem as terrible if you were out of your gourd on rum at the time.

The War Against Beer Pong
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 31 Jul 2008 04:02 PM EDT
Perhaps, in retrospect, JV Games should have seen this coming. After all, drinking games and video games may be two of college kids' favorite pastimes, but they are also a source of constant complaints from the students' middle-aged parents. So when the softwaremaker tried to combine the two adolescent activities, many critics felt it had gone too far. More>>> Sunday, July 27

The 7 Most Bizarre Fast Food Industry Lawsuits

Riley Jones
on Mon 21 Jul 2008 05:00 AM EDT
We've all heard the infamous story of the lady who sued McDonald's after getting burned by a cup of hot coffee, or the woman who found the chicken head in her McNuggets. What does not get as much coverage is now many suits get filed in the other direction, as the fast food corporations prove they can think up far stupider reasons to sue than their customers can.

Once banned, absinthe is back
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 20 Jul 2008 05:14 PM EDT
For 95 years, Americans wanting a taste of absinthe had to sneak it in from Europe or Mexico – and risk getting the high-proof herbal liquor confiscated by U.S. Customs. In May 2007, government officials lifted the ban on the drink once blamed for causing hallucinations and psychosis. A year later, Virginia’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board approved one brand for sale. More>>> Saturday, July 19

by
Riley Jones
on Fri 11 Jul 2008 06:26 PM EDT
Beer pong, also known as beirut, lob pong, or many other names is a wildly popular college drinking game. It involves making a triangle of filled beer cups on each side of the table. Each team then takes terms bouncing ping pong balls at the other team’s cups. If the ball goes in, the other team has to chug the cup of beer. The winning team is the first to eliminate the others cups. The losing team has to chug the winners' remaining cups. More>>>
Girl publishes comments about alleged wild party. Newspapers pick them up as a story. Mother sues newspapers for defamation.

on Fri 11 Jul 2008 02:37 PM EDT
It read like the teenage party from hell: a riot of sex and wanton damage fuelled by under-age drinking that only ended when the police arrived. According to media reports, the mother of the teenage hostess was so angry with her daughter that she punched her. But Jodie Hudson's lurid description of the party on the social networking website Bebo, subsequently carried in a number of national newspapers, turned out to be fantasy. The media stories, and the accompanying pictures taken from Bebo, are now the subject of a landmark legal case that could redraw the boundaries of the use of information published on social networking sites including Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

8 Ways to Win (or Avoid) a Bar Fight With Limbs Intact
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 10 Jul 2008 01:40 AM EDT
At some point in your life you are likely to find yourself a participant in a bar fight. These altercations occur for various reasons, but can usually be attributed to some drunken chump who couldn't keep his mouth shut, couldn't take 'no' for an answer, or couldn't handle the fact you just snatched up his lady's digits while he was peter-gazing in the urinal. Regardless of whether or not that drunken chump is you, it is all about self preservation. Here are some tips for surviving such a confrontation or avoiding it altogether. More>>> Thursday, July 3
Starbucks: A Study in Liberal Failure
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 03 Jul 2008 08:28 PM EDT
This is what happens when you aggressively piss off half your customers. Starbucks has announced it's closing 600 underperforming stores in the United States. Tell me how you can have an unprofitable store, when you sell an addictive, highly-fashionable product for 10 times what it costs you to make (obscene profits anyone)? You can run it like a liberal, over-compensating employees for a job any old chump (or chimp) could do. You could alienate your customers by advocating and sponsoring wacky fringe causes.

John Daly Uses Beer Can as Golf Tee
by
Riley Jones
on Fri 27 Jun 2008 08:27 AM EDT
On an otherwise quiet, muggy afternoon, two fan favorites shot life into the Buick Open Pro-Am at Warwick Hills on Wednesday. Jolly long-driving John Daly walked the course along with Detroit's own Kid Rock in probably the closest real life circus pairing you'll ever see on the links. Hundreds followed the two along the tees and fairways as Daly delighted fans by signing autographs, joking with the amateurs and even pulling off a few trick shots of his own.

James Bond Boozing: 10 Amazing Flasks for Undercover Drunks

Your average hip flask has always been the gold standard of getting drunk in public: It's convenient, discreet and there's a certain class to it. Nevertheless, companies sometimes mess with the perfection of the common flask by tacking liquor reservoirs onto all sorts of accessories and accouterments. Thanks to the following products, you too can live the dream of becoming an alcoholic version of James Bond. More>>> Monday, June 9

Filled up my tank at $2.83 a gallon on 'Moonshine'
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 02 Jun 2008 08:10 AM EDT
Hey guys a friend got me thinking ‘green’ (functional ‘green’ not enviro-nutjob ‘green’) the last few weeks. Anyway, I noticed my van is ‘E85’ compatible a few weeks back and finally made the plunge to go fill up on ethanol today. And you have to hand it to the Midwest. Down south, if you make 'moonshine' you get arrested. Up here, they call it 'fuel' and use it to help ween America off the 'Black Crack' that OPEC sells. What happened to my van? Nothing. Ran like a top and so far I haven’t noticed a difference in mileage. My way of helping the environment, the American Farmer and sticking it to OPEC. Normal 89 octane gas around here is $3.89 so yeah y’all, I feel pretty smart at that moment. More>>> Sunday, June 1

Taking beer-making to a whole new sphere, Japan's famous Sapporo Holdings Ltd. plans to launch a beer in November that's literally from out of this world. The brewery will collaborate with scientists at the Okayama University in Japan to concoct this unearthly beverage from a third generation of barley grains that spent five months on the International Space Station in 2006.

The Good, the Bad, and the Thirsty - drunkards in the old west.
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 29 May 2008 01:11 PM EDT
With the exception of a few goofy teetotalers, in the average Old West town you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a serious tippler (and he’d probably shoot you soon after). The drinkers you’re about to cross paths with—con-men, gunslingers, gamblers, madams, lawdogs and soiled doves—are among the very best. More>>> Wednesday, May 28

Milwaukee is Brew City, USA. So how would the city cope with the loss of its last brewer's headquarters if MillerCoors based itself elsewhere? Can Milwaukee still boast the nickname "Brew City" if its last remaining major brewer packs up its pens, pencils and starched corporate shirts? More>>> Thursday, May 22

A Drink Puts on the Kid Gloves
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 17 May 2008 08:36 PM EDT
At Bar Q, a pan-Asian barbecue restaurant that opened last month on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, the bar is serving spiked bubble tea. Bubble tea, you know. That’s the Chinatown treat in which gummy balls of tapioca hunker down in the bottom of a plastic cup filled with sweetened tea and milk. Sucking those odd little spheres through a ½-inch straw is a goofy and addictive pleasure that started in Taiwan in the late 1980s, when it became a hit with schoolchildren, and has since spread to most corners of the world. But it is now of legal drinking age, which is where Anita Lo, wielding a bottle of vodka, comes in. More>>> Friday, July 20

n the section of the report in which the officers are asked to describe the demeanor of the person they're arresting, the officer wrote "demeaning." We're told things got volatile enough that a patrol sergeant was called to the scene. |
