Now, don’t get me wrong; it’s important to identify risky behaviours, but aren’t there some things we already know?

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine "recently announced ":http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080904215613.htm the shocking insight that women who binge drink are more likely to engage in unsafe sex. One researcher went so far as to say that the results of the study were "not surprising," adding: "Binge drinking results in a decreased ability to make clear decisions and can enable individuals to engage in behaviours that they would not if sober."

Well, I guess you learn something new every day… Now, where’s my liquor?

Yep........ by EyeOfSage :: NR5
I agree with you. Although I think the money should probably be spent on other more important research or just donation to charity. Surprisingly though, despite these obvious facts in our society, teens and young people still binge drink. Undoubtedly this is the result of desensitization by our media, bad parenting style, and the lost of morality over the years. Really, our society needs to boost its already decaying moral principles. What we needs is probably a little more control over the media[not in the sense of controlling freedom of speech, but in the sense of controlling the output of crap media and garbage movie from trash actors and directors].

This is probably going to piss off a lot of people…..

Studying whether or not blonds have more fun..yes, it was real research, conducted by my sociology professor in college back in the 1970’s…He got a $200,000 grant for it—from the federal government. Ah…our parents/grandparents tax monies at work..
