  • Alcohol Beats Paracetamol for Pain Relief

    After a long night out it’s common to have a headache, and now experts from a UK university have found that alcohol and not paracetamol is the best painkiller. However they do warn that it is not a good long term plan for pain relief.

    Consuming two pints of beer is apparently more effective at pain relief than painkillers, the study by Greenwich University researchers found.

    According to researchers, by increasing your blood alcohol level to 0.08 you can increase your pain threshold.

    So alcohol can be compared to codeine and is even more effective than paracetamol.

  • Smarter People Drink Alcohol?

    According to a recent study intelligent people drink more alcohol than those who are less intelligent.

    The study was published in Psychology Today and claims that smarter people are more likely to binge drink and get drunk than people who don’t drink.

    According to scientists drinking alcohol is the latest behaviour to be categorised as “evoluntionarily novel”, in other words it’s a behaviour we learned, not something our ancestors did so the ability to learn it and handle it is an indication of intellectual ability.

    Personally it’s hard to believe binge drinking and getting drunk can be described as “intelligent” given the risks and consequences.
