I consider an alcoholic one who cannot control the urge to drink and lets it destroy the rest of their life.
I can control the urge just fine -- I routinely give up drinking -- sometimes for minutes at a time!!
And drinking has not destroyed my life at all -- the kids love to paint my nails when I pass out!! |

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- People celebrating St. Patrick's Day Wednesday can cross one topic of conversation off their lists.
Guinness bubbles really do sink.
Scientists said Monday they had finally proved that the dark stout's creamy bubbles defy expectations and flow down instead of upwards.
"Our group carried out preliminary experiments at a local pub a few years ago, but the results proved inconclusive," said Dr. Andrew Alexander, from the University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry.
They first thought the dark liquid flowing down as a pint was poured gave the illusion the bubbles were going down as well.
Now close examination has revealed that, as a pint settles, bubbles touching the walls of the glass experience drag, similar to that a person feels sliding their finger along glass, and that prevents them floating up.
The bubbles in the middle however, are free to rise, creating a circular flow within the glass that causes bubbles at the edge to be pushed downwards on the inside surface of the glass.
The Edinburgh team, working with researchers at Stanford University in California have produced high-speed video footage of the sinking bubbles -- to put at rest the minds of any drinkers who might have felt they were seeing things.

Good evening kids.
Thanks for your wishes. I'm getting better, though I'll still have to stay away from the booze tonight.
Oh well, there's always next week...
Hope you all have a better weekend then me. Enjoy! |

Well it is chilly and breezy under a sunny blue sky today in the DC metro area. But the cherry trees are starting to bud and blossoms are expected in the next 2 weeks.
With all the springyness, I think it only fitting that I should swing by the Newcastle tap today and provide you all with a report!
They were certainly very good on the last day of winter (Fryday) -- let's see how they are today, shall we... |

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Drinking in moderation appears to reduce heart-related deaths in men with high blood pressure, new research suggests, challenging the belief among many doctors that alcohol should be off-limits to such patients.
In the study, men with high blood pressure who reported having about one or two drinks a day were 44 percent less likely to die of cardiovascular causes such as heart attacks than men with hypertension who rarely or never drank.
Alcohol is known to increase levels of good cholesterol and can thin the blood, warding off artery-clogging clots that can cause heart attacks.
A drink or two a day has been linked with reduced cardiovascular risks in healthy men and women. But many doctors are wary about alcohol use among people with hypertension because heavy drinking can increase blood pressure. For that reason, the American Heart Association generally advises patients with high blood pressure to avoid alcohol.
