1 In 20 Deaths Globally Is A Result Of Alcohol Use

This is an important read. Over 3 million people died from alcohol consumption in 2016, equating to 1 in 20 deaths globally, according to a new report by the World Health Organization. More than 75 percent of these deaths were among men, says the report, published Friday. The largest cause of death — 28 percent — was due to injuries. This was followed by 21 percent of deaths due to digestive disorders and 19 percent due to cardiovascular diseases. The remaining causes of death were infectious diseases, cancers, mental disorders and other health conditions attributable to drinking alcohol. “The alcohol consumption level continues to be very high,” said Dr. Vladimir Poznyak, WHO’s Management of Substance Abuse coordinator. “All countries can do much more to reduce the health and so...

This New Medallion Lets You Test The Safety Of Your Drink

Ladies, would you feel safer with one of these? Everyone needs a night out once in a while to help alleviate stress and boost their mood, but a night of sipping cocktails with friends can, unfortunately, also be dangerous. No, we’re not talking about a massive hangover and the “worst headache ever.” In the United States, a person is sexually assaulted every 98 seconds and seven out of 10 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim. When in a social setting, it’s all too easy for someone — including someone you trust — to slip something into your drink if you leave it unattended. That quick trip to the bathroom to touch up your makeup can have life-altering consequences if you’re not being extra cautious. Thankfully, from coasters and napkins to nail polish and, now, a sma...

You Can Get Paid To Travel Around The World And Drink Gin

Gin drinkers: Would you like to get paid to travel and enjoy your favorite gin-based libations around the world? It might sound like a fantasy, but the job is real, it’s up for grabs, and you have until Aug. 27 to apply. Mr. Fogg’s, a group of Victorian era-inspired bars in London, is teaming up with the iconic gin creator Bombay Sapphire to offer gin-lovers the chance to compete for an incredible prize: the chance to travel around the world in 80 days on all-expenses-paid luxury vacation. This video on Vimeo explains the idea behind the contest: The prize is quite apt as Mr. Fogg’s is named after none other than Phileas Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne’s famous adventure novel “Around the World in 80 Days.” In London, Mr. Fogg’s is well known for their gin parlour, which feat...

Captain Morgan Has A Pumpkin Spice Rum That’s Perfect For Fall Cocktails

Nothing beats a pumpkin spice latte to usher in the fall season! However, the rum geniuses at Captain Morgan have their own pumpkin spice beverage — and this one is not quite so safe for the breakfast table. (OK, maybe a little won’t hurt.) Arriving in 2016 and somehow flying under my radar for two years, Captain Morgan’s Jack-O’Blast Pumpkin Spiced Rum was the first pumpkin spiced rum to be sold in stores. At the time, it was marketed as a “limited-edition” adult beverage. Two fall seasons later, it’s still around and (I assume!) making cocktails amazing wherever it’s served. The first day of fall AND a Friday? Jack-O’Blast Drop shots for all! #FirstDayOfFall <imgsrc="" alt="🍹" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;">pic.twitter.com/rYvBfAPYVo — Captain Mo...
