---  the original post follows below  ---

Hangovers Don't Delay the Next Drink, Study Finds - Philly.com:

"Hangovers don't influence when people will have their next drink, according to a new study that challenges some common beliefs.

Although many people say having another drink will help cure a hangover, others think a hangover will delay further drinking. In this study of nearly 400 frequent drinkers, researchers found the unpleasant after-effects of overindulgence have little effect on the timing of the next alcoholic drink."

Drinking Too Much? Don't Count On Your Doctor To Ask : Shots - Health News : NPR:

"Studies have found that having that conversation and making a plan can cut a person's alcohol consumption by up to 25 percent. That could make a substantial dent in the 88,000 deaths each year caused by alcohol, as well as $224 billion in economic costs. Most of those problems are caused by drinkers who aren't alcoholics, Frieden sad."

2013: The Year of the Fearless International Traveler | Peggy Goldman

2013: The Year of the Fearless International Traveler | Peggy Goldman:

"Our most impressive finding was this: Most travelers aren't letting anything get in the way of their international travel plans. Sixty percent of travelers that we surveyed reported that despite recent events such as cruise disasters or acts of terror, they feel as safe traveling now as they did five years ago. Moreover, 55 percent reported that these events haven't impacted their travel abroad."

Tiger Woods delights Brandel Chamblee with course-record-tying 62 at Sherwood CC - SBNation.com

Tiger Woods delights Brandel Chamblee with course-record-tying 62 at Sherwood CC - SBNation.com:

"Woods was not a particularly generous host, as he fired a second-round 10-under 62 to take charge of his Northwestern Mutual World Challenge and leave his 17 star-studded guests looking up in admiration of the 36-hole leader’s 10-birdie, 0-bogey play.
"It was a clinic," Graeme McDowell told Reuters about his playing partner, who left the defending champion, who carded a respectable 67, in his dust as he tied the course record he set in 2007. "It was cool to see that kind of golf. He was under control. He hit it down the middle of every fairway.""

"In other words, what we’ve come to call terroir is not only the result of the specifics of place — cold mornings, or high limestone content in the soil — but also the microscopic life that thrives on and around the grapes themselves."
