  • Diet mixers can make you more drunk than higher-calorie options.
  • The study involved 16 young men and women who consider themselves to be social drinkers.
  • So why would diet drinks increase intoxication? Previous work found that the stomach reacts to sugary drinks as though they are food, working to digest the calories. Eating solid food while drinking significantly reduces BAC, by 20% to 57%, and sugary drinks seem to act similarly, keeping alcohol in the stomach longer, slowing down its release into the bloodstream.

    This article talks about how people who make mixture of carbonated drinks such as soda and alcoholic beverages have a higher rate of intoxication. This can be caused due to how your stomach reacts with sugary drinks, as though they are food. When this happens, alcohol is kept in the stomach longer, making you stay intoxicated for a longer period of time. This test was taken with 16 young men and women who say they are social drinkers.

    Citation: Gander, Maclean. "Column: Is ADHD Overdiagnosed?" USA Today. Gannett, 8 Dec. 2012. Web. 27 Feb. 2013. The questions asks about the treatment of ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a disorder that is diagnosed on subjective impressions of symptoms. This means that pediatricians can diagnose children with ADHD and put them on medication based strictly on intuition. The problem with these medications is that they have serious side effects. Also students diagnosed with ADHD live with being singled out of regular school environment. Another problem with this disoder is that the number of students diagnosed goes up everyday; in fact in a couple of decades, at this rate, 1 in 5 students will be diagnosed. The author MacLean gander also talks of how medication has really helped some children diagnosed with this disorder. MacLean finishes by saying how the problem is real and if school systems are not changed to fit the needs of these children, they will suffer life altering consequences.

    I think that this is not only a good health topic, but a very controversial topic. I find it hard to believe that people may believe that ADHD is not actually a real disorder. Though it may be easily faked, because there is no biological symtoms that may suggest that a person has this disorder there are physical ones. My friends brother has ADHD and he said that the symtoms were really bad nausea, diaria and suicidal thoughts. He immediately got off the medicine but never went to see about his disorder again. This made high school and getting goods grades very difficult. This is why it is so difficult to decide what to do about this situation, because there is no middle way. I think that ADHD is a serious disorder. Because of the growing diagnoses, the education system will have to be changed to accommodate the needs of these students.
