Maybe moderate drinkers are just healthier to begin with.
Explaining our culture in the most simple way: a perfect Venn Diagram. Now can you explain some other American obsessions? Multiple births? American Idol?
Food Buzz Here's how you make vodka-soaked gummi bears. Yay! These are easier to carry around than Jello shots.
Culture Buzz In Dream Club, players try to get the Japanese hostesses drunk so they start talking about the things they normally wouldn't. The ladies will also get up on stage, sing karaoke and run around the cabaret in cosplay if players use the so-called “Interactive Inshu System” correctly. Inshu means “drinking alcohol,” so you get the idea. Summer 09, Japan only.

Jim Beam is running a pretty clever contest, in which users upload videos spoofing Jim Beam ads that already exist. Now try figuring that out after a couple shots of Jim Beam. Not that easy now, is it?

MillerCoors LLC announced it will remove caffeine, taurine, guarana and ginseng from the alcoholic energy drink, and will not produce caffeinated alcohol beverages in the future. Hey, look on the bright side: now you finally have an excuse to sit home and watch reruns of The Ghost Whisperer.
A video montage of public drunkenness provides 50 cautionary tales against passing out and, say, wetting your pants on the floor. Conversely, it encourages young artists who like to draw dicks on their friends' faces.
A Flickr pool has surfaced that illustrates first-time drinkers of Malört, a Swedish style of schnapps flavored with wormwood. In fact, one blogger vouches that the stuff tastes like “bug spray, Robitussin, or varnish remover.” We think we'll stick with our boring old cocktail, thank you very much.
Sports Buzz Ivan Ukhov was totally hammered on Vodka Red Bulls at last week’s Athletissima high jumping meet. After his jump attempt in which he executed a running flop onto the mat, league officials are demanding an explanation.
Culture Buzz Colleges, bars, even entire cities (Belmar, N.J.) are banning the game of Beer Pong in an effort to curb binge drinking. Last fall, Georgetown University banned the game, the tables, as well as having an inordinate amount of ping-pong balls.
TV Buzz The A&E reality show about interventions is fascinating, disgusting. Now well into it’s fifth season, the grim pile-up that is Intervention finally gives you a reason to watch A&E when you get home after a late night.
Food Buzz Just in time for independence day, America-themed champagne. Apparently George Washington celebrated with champagne so why shouldn’t we. Plus, they are mini! Just pass me a straw.
TV Buzz The reality show starring stage mom Dina Lohan and her 14-year-old daughter Ali Lohan, is scheduled to premier on the E! network on Memorial Day. I don’t care how high-brow you claim to be, this show will undoubtedly be your new guilty pleasure. Which is perfect timing, now that the Hills season is over.
