What “PBR” Really Stands For [Humor]
May 22, 2008
We all know Pabst Blue Ribbon as PBR. But it’s hard for me to imagine that PBR ever got a blue ribbon for anything. So I’ve decided to make up my own meanings, which I believe are way more accurate:
7) Pretty Bad Refreshment
6) Probably Boiled Rats
5) Pride of the Butt River (why not?)
4) Poorly Brewed Result
3) Palatable But Revolting
2) Pining for a Bad Refreshment
1) Pfucking Bterrible Rbeer
13 Year Old Steals Father’s Credit Card to Play Xbox with Hookers
May 20, 2008
Don’t try this at home:
When Ralph Hardy, age 13, ordered an extra credit card from his father’s card company, he did not hold back. The Newark, Texas native spent roughly $30,000 with his friends, their most expensive purchase being a couple of hookers and a cheap motel.
Hardy was discovered after having the motel desk clerk to deliver Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos, then asking him “where they could score some chicks [that they were] willing to pay.” They went further, elaborating that “they had just made a big score at a ‘World of Warcraft’ tournament and wanted to get some relaxation.” The concerned desk clerk alerted local authorities.
Upon entering the room, police found $3000 in cash, several electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console, and two local prostitutes. The prostitutes, who were released without charge, told the arresting officers that they became suspicious when the kids said that “they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.”
Hardy is said to have reported that his father probably won’t mind, as he had forgotten to buy him a birthday present the week before.

Leinenkugel
May 20, 2008
If you’re from the Upper Midwest, you’ve probably heard of The Jacob Leinenkugel brewing company. Like so many smaller breweries, they’ve traded their originality and warmth (”Come out to Leinie Lodge and have a few!”) for stability and profit: Leinenkugel’s is now owned by Miller.
But that hasn’t stopped them from making decent beers, and in the past few years they’ve won an impressive array of awards at the American Beer Fest, including golds for their Creamy Dark and Berry Weiss flavors.
But the beer on trial is not one of Leinenkugel’s newfangled attempts to maintain their image as a unique brewery despite the Miller label. This is the original Leinenkugel, all the way back from 1867–before Leinenkugel Red was the keg of choice for Wisconsin parties (a status it held for decades, until very recently), and before you brought a case of Berry Weiss to a summer barbecue for the ladies. This is the recipe Jacob Leinenkugel himself brought over from Germany.
TASTE:
The most common complaint about Leinenkugel’s Original is the strong metallic taste, and I have to agree with that.
The first time I tasted Leinenkugel, I thought I’d broken off a piece of the bottle cap and it had fallen into the beer. Especially if you pour it into a glass (which always brings out the subtler flavors, for better or for worse) Leinenkugel can taste a bit like chewing on tin foil.
Beneath that there’s a not-quite-sweet taste which almost reminds me of white wine–true beer connoisseurs call this taste “corn,” although corn is not actually used in the brewing process.
IMPRESSIONS:
Leinenkugel now has 14 different flavors, and of those “Original” is one of the most rarely consumed (Sunset Wheat is the most popular). And while Leinenkugel’s Original isn’t a terrible beer, I can see why it’s not really anyone’s first choice either.
It’s definitely not a cheap party beer, but it’s not the best American Lager you could buy either. And it’s not as interesting as Leinenkugel’s other flavors.
Try it once to say you did, and then go back to Leinenkugel’s “Summer Shandy”–even if it does sound a little fruity.
Party Value: 2/5

Why Alcohol Dehydrates
May 18, 2008
Alcohol inhibits ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) - a hormone that regulates the water level in your blood.
Like many essential nutrients, water is filtered through your kidneys. Usually when your body’s water level is low, ADH is stimulated in the kidneys, allowing more water absorption.
But when ADH is inhibited by alcohol, the water is not reabsorbed into the blood and instead becomes part of your urine - the reason that drinking alcohol makes you have to pee more often.
When you “break the seal” and go to the bathroom, you are losing water that should be in your blood - hence the reason you get dehydrated. The result is that you can expect to experience symptoms like headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise, lethargy, and fatigue - a hangover.
What do you do?
After a night of drinking, try to drink some water before you pass out. This will go a long way towards reducing the effects of dehydration.
You will probably feel much better in the morning.
