alcohol

We have Kool Aid, instant coffee and instant milk, but on the horizon could be powdered alcohol under the brand, Palcohol. I'm of two minds on this.

There's not many things you can pull off drunk...playing goalie in a hockey game definitely wouldn't be on the list. Well, this goalie on an amateur hockey team in the Czech Republic thought he would try it!

Recently, President Obama said, “I don’t think it (marijuana) is more dangerous than alcohol.” What do you think? I come to this from an abstract place for the argument because I have really never been a pot smoker.

A recent study suggests that if you're middle age and don't drink alcohol, your mortality rate is increased. That means that, according to this study, moderate drinking (2 or 3 drinks a day) may help you live longer!

Governor LePage, in his weekly address, pointed to welfare fraud examples like the use of Maine ebt cards at tobacco and alcohol stores and even at a liquor store in New Hampshire. Fact is, there is fraud going on. The question is, how do we stop it from happening? I think random drug tests, though not nearly the complete answer, would help.

All-righty-then, pass the Allen's. According to this survey from 'Blowfish for Hangovers', Maine is at the top of the list of states that drink the most. Maine is followed on the list by Wyoming, Alaska, Delaware and Washington D.C. But we are Mainers, we don’t complain about hangovers! Maine did NOT make the top five list of those who do whine about hangovers.

This is very scary. Teens are getting drunk by 'smoking alcohol.' They aren't drinking the booze, they are inhaling it to get an instant high.

New Hampshire bars could be staying open later. 'Last Call' could be 2 a.m., an hour later than it is now. That's what is proposed in a bill that passed the Granite State House a few weeks ago.

When I worked at a convenience store back in the mid 90's there were three basic rules for selling alcohol, Still are, I’m sure. The rules were that the person buying has to be of legal age (21) with proof, the person buying has to be coherent, meaning not drunk and it’s a judgment call on the seller and thirdly, you can’t sell after or before hours.
