Would You Ever Drink Whisky Made from Urine?

legacy/Urine Whisky.

Whisky may be traditionally made from the standard ingredients of barley and water, but one man has created a  whisky made from  diabetics’ urine.  Just what the doctor ordered, right?

While the thought of drinking whisky made from urine may turn your stomach ever so slightly, just know that the urine is purified. In other words, a chemical process is used to take out the sugar and then added to the mash stock. Diabetics were chosen to donate urine to the project because of the high amount of sugar that they excrete in their urine.

A New Study Claims That Heavy Drinkers Will Out-Live Non-Drinkers

legacy/Beer Pong.

I don’t know if this is a bogus study or not because it sounds almost too good to be true-  heavy drinkers outlive those who don’t drink anything at all. Research has already demonstrated that those who drink moderate amounts of alcohol are healthier and live longer than those who refuse to drink, but is it really true that the those who consume copious amounts of alcohol (to borrow my favorite phrase from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and list Beer Pong as one of their daily activities live longer than the teetotalers?
