President Bush shares 12-pack of Milwaukee's Best with scientists

Oh, wait, that's a new kind of lithium-ion battery for hybrid vehicles, and those other two are engineers at Johnson Controls, which makes the batteries. Our president was actually out there giving a boost to hybrid-car technology. Whew.

THE BELOW IS FROM "GOD'S LINCHPIN"

Several studies on the problems of maturing have cautioned against the use of alcohol by children and young people. These have been based on the accepted thesis that the average person does not fully mature until they are about 25 years of age. Insurance Companies are concerned about the young and immature driver and for this reason the insurance rates are extremely high until the driver becomes 26 years of age. The maturing process revolves around the development of a small but vital organ located in the brain. This organ known as the hypothalamus, is vitally effected by alcoholic beverages be they beer, wine or liquor. The eminent Dr. Jorge Valles, M.D., a psychiatrist extensively involved in therapy work with alcoholics and vitally concerned as to "what causes the alcoholic" points out in his book "From Social Drinking to Alcoholism" that: "The younger the age at which an individual starts to ingest alcohol, the greater the chances that he will develop into a chronic alcoholic. For the action of the alcohol is channeled directly toward the adolescent's imbalanced hypothalamus and autonomic nervous system, thereby obstructing his emotional maturation on both psychological and physiological levels. The regular or frequent ingestion during adolescence may produce a permanent imbalance of the hypothalamus and a concomitant irreversible malfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system, thereby leading to the development of chronic alcoholism. In brief, the direct action of the alcohol on the hypothalamus produces chronic alcoholism." (End God's Linchpin)

Alcohol and sexual performance

When Shakespeare said the following of alcohol and sexual performance, he was definitely speaking the truth : “..it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.” (Macbeth)

Some people think that alcohol will increase their sexual performance. This might be the case if one has only one or two drinks, as a small amount of alcohol can make one less inhibited. Anything more than that will impact negatively on a man’s ability to maintain an erection and achieve orgasm. Excessive amounts of alcohol will also lead to a decrease in a woman’s ability to achieve orgasm.

Effects of alcohol on sexual enjoyment

	Alcohol is essentially a nervous system depressant and when taken in large amounts, it numbs the nerve endings in both male and female genitalia.
	It also decreases female lubrication and can lead to painful sex.
	Alcohol can increase one’s expectations, yet decrease desire, arousal and satisfaction
	Alcohol affects the rational processes, which can make people choose sex partners they would not consider under normal circumstances
	Alcohol decreases normal hormone levels
	Long term alcohol abuse can lead to a drop in testosterone levels in men and cause menstrual problems in women

ALCOHOL IMPAIRMENT CHART

VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME National Resource Directory of Victim Assistance Funding Opportunities

Statistics

	More than 17,000 Americans die each year in alcohol-related traffic crashes
	41 percent of all traffic crashes are alcohol-related
	Nearly 600,000 Americans are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes each year
	Someone dies in an alcohol-related traffic crash every 30 minutes
	3 out of every 10 Americans face the possibility of being directly involved in an alcohol-related traffic crash during their lifetime

The NCADD builds on past success by targeting the most intractable drunk driving populations.

	21-34 year-olds. The drivers, able to drink legally, are responsible for nearly 60 percent of all alcohol-related traffic crashes.
	Habitual drunk drivers/repeat offenders. More than one-third of drivers arrested for impaired driving are repeat offenders. Drivers with a prior DUI offense have a much higher likelihood of involvement in a fatal crash.
	Underage drinkers. As an age group, they are over-represented in alcohol-related traffic crashes compared to the proportion of licensed drivers.

Please join us in solving this tragic and avoidable threat to our families, friends and fellow citizens. (NCADD)

"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."
Victor Frankl - Man's Search for Meaning, p.172
