Recently, yet another important argument broke out on Twitter — this time, about which stove burner is the “best.” Lots of people have a favorite, sure. But are some burners intrinsically better than the others? One of the weirder things about being an adult is having a...
I love sandwiches. Who doesn’t love sandwiches? Monsters, that’s who. But I’m also aware that many sandwiches aren’t necessarily well-rounded meals, which is why I asked nutritionist David Friedman, author of Food Sanity: How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction, to help me rank...
Good morning. We know, you’re not quite sure what happened last night: All you know is that you invited a few buddies over to celebrate the new year, and the next thing you know you wake up with a wicked hangover, all of your friends are gone...
You could say I’m prone to hangovers. And that’s not because of some genetic failing or predisposition. It’s just that, well, I’m simply not a one-glass-of-wine-at-dinner kind of girl. Call it whatever you want — an occupational hazard, binge drinking, a lack of self-control — I prefer...

Alcohol mixes well with many things. It is, after all, a solution. But one thing it doesn’t typically play well with is a tired, hungry, dehydrated body. There has, however, been recent chatter about how every bro’s favorite celebratory beverage of choice — i.e., beer — might...
Most people, by the time they’ve hit their early 20s, have figured out that the faster they drink from that bottle of tequila, the faster they’ll be making mariachi noises into the nearest vomit-receptacle. We all know that slow and steady wins the not-puking race, but are...
We’re about to explain something we’ve all wondered, especially during holiday season: Why does being drunk make us want to drink even more? We all know it when we hit that mid-beer-buzz sweet spot — when our senses are keenest, our conversation at its most lucid, our...
