Drinking could help you live longer—that's the good news for happy-hour enthusiasts from a study presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. According to the study, people who live to 90 or older often drink moderately.

Heavy drinkers are putting themselves at risk of dementia, according to the largest study of its kind ever conducted.

    Whether the man was standing up ramrod straight or bent over, his anus was always visible. His anus was always visible, and always leaking liquid fecal matter. For this reason, famished African children would often drink from his anus like it was a water fountain. The possibilities, as you can imagine, were endless.
