    What about having your first whisky at 10.30am? Because that seemed to work for my grandma.

    @woodsey: Mr. Pietra's great-grandma taught him how to make her a wonderful bourbon-and-Coke when he was about 8. Now he makes them for me (and himself). I cannot thank her enough. #alcohol

    If "light to moderate" equals "spry", I'm planning on having the ability to train for marathons at age 75. #alcohol

    This theory confirms my abuelita's long-held belief that her longevity was due in part to her daily cup of sherry. Also, why she upped the dose when certain relatives visited ("I want to outlive them, which won't be possible if I have to tolerate them without my drink")
    This is what I've been trying to explain my mom: I like wine because I take after grandma. #alcohol

    In reply to Fear Meets Sex Appeal In Drug-Detecting Lip Gloss
    The thing that seems kind of stupid about this gloss is that on top of all of the restrictions about it not working in wine or fruit juice drinks is that most "date"-rapes take place when a woman has had nothing more than alcohol. Because that's the point of these drugs, to incapacitate you in the way alcohol does, or to speed up the effects of alcohol.

    The notion that date rapes only take place after drinks are spiked does give women a false sense of security that as long as their drinks are clean, they'll be fine. This gloss definitely doesn't help that.

    And honestly, I've heard people say things like, "well was she actually date-raped, was she roofied? or did she just drink too much and make a bad decision?" There is this notion that a date-rape can't really happen unless someone has been drugged with a benzo or GHB. As always, the problem seems to be getting men to realize that "having sex" with a woman who can't say no is rape.

    In reply to Fear Meets Sex Appeal In Drug-Detecting Lip Gloss
    GHB is very common, so in terms of safety, I think this is a "good thing." G doesn't put someone out for hours like roofies or K, but its' availability and the speed with which it acts make it pretty attractive to young men who don't play fair.

    I dated a wild-woman some years ago that used G recreationally - one night, she passed out twice for 5 minutes at a time at our booth just after returning from the bathroom. No one gave it much of a thought except me... This was in LA, at a dance-club w/ a $40 cover, in the late 90's and G was very popular then.

    @Jack_Burton: I think GHB is much more commonly used as a recreational drug than as a date-rape drug. I have friends who use it, and they say it's very salty when mixed in a drink.

    It's scary though, right? I mean, they say it just speeds up the effects of alcohol, but when your date or friend passes out, you wonder how easy it would be to mis-dose it, and for something worse than passing out to happen. Very stupid.
