Beer, Blueberries, Soda, and Sleep
- Beer (via mccun934)
- Beer helps build strong bones and may help prevent osteoporosis, says new research.
- Blueberries fight intestinal inflammation, says a new study, and blueberries are even better when combined with probiotics, which means blueberry yogurt is practically a prescription medication now.
- Sugary sodas won't just make you fat, they can also give you cancer, a new study shows.
- Sitting down to eat, turning off the TV, and getting enough sleep drastically reduces kids' odds of being obese. Want to bet those things work for grown ups too?

So all that Bluepoint blueberry beer I drank last summer was secretly good for me?

I am salivating!!! I don't think it's fare to us Jan Plan Plusers to be posting such things...

Sorry about that! I thought if I posted a photo of beer before 11 a.m. it wouldn't be as mean, but I see that I was mistaken...;)

Its all kinda cruel when you haven't drank in 29 days. ;)
But don't worry, its more of an exciting temptation for Friday at midnight.

Charity, I took one look at this photo and went out to get a beer.
there is no safe time for temptation, especially when erikka and i (as the proponents of jan plan plus epic fail) are reading, and thinking about combining blueberries and beer.....

I haven't had anything to drink in an effing month. People drink all the time. Friends when going out. In commercials. In TV shows. On stoops. I see them through apartment windows. Leaning over balconies, a bottle of Presidente cradled in hand. Gaggles of them in bars, sipping foamy pints and watching the game. Bars are everywhere in New York you know. Ev. Er. Y. Where. Which means every corner is another opportunity, another temptation. I had to watch my friends drink the entire bottle of Maker's Mark that was given to me for a house warming present. I had to get my lead singer drunk off the beer in my fridge so I wouldn't drink it. I had to stand there and order water or red bulls at bars while girls mocked me, friends mocked me, strangers mocked me, bartenders glared at me until they realized I was tipping them for the agua anyway.
All this to say: this feat is killer, fyi. I almost cried at the thought of an MGD last night.
Ok, not really, but this whole "Having to say no" is like the opposite of the addiction but without the bar makeouts and beer goggles :P

I, like MM, have been off the booze forever now - since 1st Jan. Only way to make sure I haven't missed it is to NOT go out for nights out. Which is pretty lame. This weekend I will be partying like it's 1999. Or watching football and drinking cider - close enough.

Is that the smallest violin in the world I hear playing, Mohawk?

Mohawk, would you like me to replace your housewarming bottle I so quickly helped demolish?
Submitted by sandyliz on 02.09.10 at 10:12.
@erikka -- it's too bad it's not the heaviest violin, as i would chunk it at you :P
@sandyliz -- i imagine my tolerance is comically low, so, sure, you can bring a bottle, we can crack a bottle, we can even act like sloppy models who just hit the lotto. but that might mean one shot for me.
