  • Australian Study Says Live Music Reduces Alcohol Violence

    Sydney’s lockout laws have been hailed by some as a blessing and condemned by others as a curse, having negatively impacted the city’s music community and nightlife.

    According to a recent article the attempts by government to curb alcohol fuelled violence have actually killed the music scene in the city.

    The article cited the work of expert, Dr Anne Fox, a British anthropologist who’s specialised in the study of drinking cultures and studied Australian and New Zealand drinking cultures in 2013. She found that live music is “good at preventing alcohol fuelled violence”, the writer claims.

  • Sleep Problems could be Another Symptom of Foetal Alcohol Exposure

    If you’re pregnant, Australian guidelines say you should avoid alcohol completely during pregnancy and an increasingly large body of research is mounting to prove that this is the best approach.

    The most recent research emerged out of the US, where alcohol exposure has been linked to poor sleep.

    Researchers used lab mice and injected them with alcohol. They noticed that mice injected with alcohol a week after birth, the equivalent to 3 months of alcohol exposure in the womb, did not get as much slow wave sleep as the other mice.

    Slow wave sleep is restorative and turns events into long lasting  memories. The alcohol exposed mice were also hyperactive and had memory problems.

  • Things You Should Avoid Eating before a Night out Drinking

    When you’re planning a big night out its probably best you avoid certain foods.

    Salty snacks are a big “no-no” because they will dehydrate you and as you know alcohol already does that.

    Instead have foods like cucumber and watermelon that are loaded with water.

    While salads are always a healthy option, before drinking they aren’t such a good choice. That’s because its like going out on an empty stomach and you get drunk alot quicker.

    Sushi is another food you should avoid, mostly because you’ll be dunking it into a lot of soy sauce which is loaded with salt so same situation as salty snacks.

  • Scotch Shortage Over The Next Decade

    A scotch shortage may be on the horizon and it may last for more than a decade. Bad news for scotch lovers!

    According to a post on CNNMoney the world may be running out of old single malt Scotch whiskey, due to the increasing global demand.

    The shortage is in large to do with its popularity growing in China and much of Asia where Scotch demand is high. In fact Asia now receives one fifth of the world’s scotch exports. Add to that the fact that scotch consumption has trippled in the US over the last few year. So if you’re afraid of running out of your favorite tipple, you may want to stock up now.
