The Dryathon: no, cancer patients want you to drink and have fun
Have you shaved your head for cancer? Have you stopped drinking for Cancer Research UK’s Dryathlon? Stop. Rather, carry on. Drink. Grow your hair and have fun. Abstinence is for the religious and the dependent.
Stopping the booze for a month is like braking as you pass the speed cameras, only to slap your foot on the accelerator as you leave the police zone of intolerance?
Don’t stop. Drink! Your local cancer patient demands it.
PS – yes, if you are worried about booze leading to cancer, then give it up. But, then, lots of stuff has been linked to cancer. Will you give up broccoli, too?
College Sex Attacks And Prohibition
COLLEGE sex and Prohibition:
“A vast majority of college women’s rape claims involve alcohol. Not long ago, 18-year-olds in many states could drink legally. College-sponsored events could openly involve a keg, with security officers on hand to ensure that things didn’t get out of hand. Since 1984, when the federal government compelled states to adopt a drinking age of 21, college alcohol policies have been a mockery. Prohibition has driven alcohol into private spaces and house parties, with schools largely turning a blind eye.”
Banning drink and drugs never does work…
BBC debunks BBC reporter Victoria Derbyshire’s scare story on an ‘army of drunk children’
THE story about hundreds of drunk children in A&E departments was a front-page shocker. And it was, as we noted, balls. The story was created by the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire. It was bad that another BBC show sought to explain what utter nonsense it was, a scare story created from dodgy figures, a fear of youth and stocked by the therapy industry.

Man drinks corpse toe and gets $500 fine to boot
PEOPLE complain when they find a fly in their soup. Imagine for a minute, if you ordered a drink at a bar and there was a cadaver’s toe in it.
Well, one customer at a hotel was fined $500 after he swallowed a human toe at the bar.
The severed bit of corpse had been dropped into a shot of whisky as part of a tradition in Dawson City, Canada, where everyone is clearly mental.

Whitney Houston Totters Off To Rehab While Prince Scowls At Her
GLASSY-EYED pop diva, Whitney Houston, is not having a good time of it at the moment. Or rather, perhaps she’s having too much of a good time and it has started to rot her brains and liver.
You see, the Bodyguard singer has had to return to rehab because she (allegedly) likes taking too many drugs and wolfing down too much booze.

South Africa Promises Drink Drivers Will Be Raped In Jail
IF you are caught drink driving in South Africa you will be raped in jail. If you are not raped, then you might be able to sue the makers of this TV advert for making a false claim.
Brandhouse Beverages, who made the ad, say:
“We wanted to create a campaign which didn’t simply create awareness but changed consumer behaviour so that they never drink and drive again.”

The London Bar That Sprays Drinkers With A Mist Of Alcohol
IN the Tlicho aboriginal community of Behchoko, Canada, locals have voted to ban alcohol from their community.
In a plebiscite held Wednesday, 256 voters supported the alcohol ban, while 237 voted against it. The plebiscite asked residents if “the consumption, possession, purchase sale and transport of liquor be prohibited” in the community, located about 95 kilometres north of Yellowknife.
In Canada no one can hear you scream. Bansturbation is rife.
Meanwhile in Endland, where everyone is screaming all the time. In the Alcoholic Architecture bar, London:
Adults are often reminded to drink
responsibly but customers entering a new cocktail bar where they are
literally enveloped in a mist of alcohol are warned to breathe
responsibly.
Just 40 minutes inside the venue – which
delivers an intoxicating vapour of gin and tonic – will leave you
feeling slightly merry.
Punters are also advised to don special
protective suits as they enter the walk-in cocktail to avoid going home
smelling like a brewery.To complement the whiff of G&T the bar is decorated with giant
limes and massive straws to make visitors feel as if they are inside
the drink.
The experience is further enhanced by a special soundtrack featuring the noise of liquid being poured over ice cubes.
Both venues are, of course, uttely horrible places, locals for those who crave boundaries and are unable to appreciate free will…
