"... a new medical study has concluded that the threat of a crushing hangover cannot be removed by making sure that beer comes before, or after, wine. 

The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on Friday, went further claiming that hangovers were also not made more bearable by sticking to one type of drink thereby debunking another of the barfly's favorite: "Grape or grain but never the twain.""

Drug and Alcohol Interactions - Have things changed?

How important is the interaction between drugs and alcohol? This US News and World Report article says that alchohol consumption is going down, "Americans Drinking Less Alcohol - Beer consumption is down, while wine consumption is up, study finds." If this is true, you'd think that fewer people would be exposing themselves to drug and alcohol interactions. . . .

Bottomline, "Americans are drinking less alcohol, with middle-aged people consuming about one-third less than 50 years ago, researchers report."

Alcohol can interact with many prescription drugs and cause undesirable adverse effects. It's important to monitor how your medications and alcohol interact.

Parents, Get A Clue About Teen Drug and Alcohol Abuse

This just in. It seems that parents are clueless when it comes to their teenagers’ behavior, which contributes to their drug and alcohol abuse. This LA Times article reports the findings of a survey conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, "Problem parents contribute to teen drug use." The report singles out parents for contributing to drug and alcohol use among kids ages 12 to 17. It states that some parents fail to monitor their children's activities, do not safeguard medications at home that can be used for abuse, and do not set good examples for their kids.

According to the survey:

1. It is easier for teenagers to obtain prescription drugs than beer
2. 42% of teenagers said they can buy marijuana in one day or less
3. 1/4th of teenagers said they know a parent of a classmate or a friend who uses marijuana
4. Of the teenagers surveyed who do drink, almost 30% said their drink of choice was hard liquor mixed with soda or something sweet and 16% said they preferred beer
