Hangovers don't discourage people from drinking soon after sleeping it off
The delayed consequences of drinking - hangovers - don't sufficiently outweigh the benefits of being drunk, experts say
Hangovers have been shown to even lead to more frequent drinking in some people looking to mitigate the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.
Hangovers do not provide any measurable motivation for people to drink less, a new study has revealed.
Experts discovered that hangovers lead to what some call ‘hair of the dog’ drinking, the consumption of a drink or two immediately after waking up in order to lessen the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, and may even cause people to drink more.
The findings, to be published in May in a medical journal but detailed on Science Blog, discovered that morning headaches might even lead to higher incidences of alcoholism.
If hangovers motivate ‘hair of the dog’ drinking to alleviate hangover symptoms, perhaps they play a direct role in the escalation of problematic drinking,’ University of Missouri professor Thomas Piasecki told the site.
It was also discovered that people who are at the highest risk of becoming alcoholics are more likely to suffer through hangovers, he added.
This is because they are more immune to the effect of intoxication than their ‘lightweight’ friends, Piasecki further explained, which leads them to be less aware of their limits and ‘be more prone to drink to hangover-inducing levels.’

D2024 is seen at Tees and Hartlepool Port Authorities loco shed in Middlesbrough Docks on 10th April 1978. It has since been preserved on the Kent and East Sussex Railway.
This was the last place we visited on a 6 day tour of Industrial and other locations in the East Midlands and Yorkshire
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos. We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth.

When I was a kid in the early 1970s, Off! insect repellent was one of the smells of summer. The commercials featured a man sticking his arm into a clear box filled with mosquitoes and would get attacked by dozens of them. Then he'd pull it out and spray it with Off! then stick it back in, and the voiceover would say, "Bugs don't bite, they don't even light." It was available "in spray or foam." We almost always got the spray but my dad got the foam once. A product of Johnson Wax.
One from last Summer; the 4/5 were diverted from Southway between the School roundabout and the Aldershot Road shops for the day.
The diversion was over Park Barn Drive, Broadacres, Broad Street, and the Aldershot Road.
I spent a good few hours capturing movements, with the usual low success rate - traffic, clouds, etc conspiring to defeat me as ever!
But this one came out ok.
YJ67 FYX heads into Guildford on the Aldershot Road, about to re-join normal route at the Southway/Northway junction.
This Osprey showed off its wings as I photographed on the grounds of Fort Pickens on the West end of Pensacola Beach, Florida. Here I was using the Sony A9 with the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 along with the 1.4 teleconverter. Camera setting where 1/2000 sec at f/4.0, ISO 250. Have a great day. Cheers!
Lome, Togo
In August I traveled to Togo in Africa to teach. To learn more about my trip and see more photos, check out my post Sharing a Beach Adventure in Lome, Togo on my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
This Suplhur-Crested-Cockatoo was heading towards his partner who was in another tree just up the road.
This HDR Vertorama was a real challenge but i believe i pulled it off. so much to stitch and align. but i had fun doing it. Capturing it and putting it together. :-)
This amazing workshop is my friends dads area of work. He is a very skillful metal worker. I popped to see my mate Ryan he has a cabinet workshop on the same farm. i walked into Ryan's dads workshop to say hi and forget how amazing it was. :-)
Luckly i had my equipment in the car. i had just finished a portrait session a school doing staff portraits. which was good fun. so i grab my nikon and manfrotto and started snapping. :-)
The image is made of 15 bracketed HDR images. 5 for top, middle and bottom. Long exposures ,some up to 5 seconds. Processed in photomatix and edited in photoshop. Some DRI treatment on lights, due the glowing of them crappy blubs. Taken on my Nikon d300 using my sigma10-20mm.
My love of HDR started from one man's work. Since i first saw his work in a uk magazine i wanted to learn the process of HDR. His name is Jens Hartmann his style of urban decay blow me away. I don't think my passion for HDR wouldn't been as fun is it wasn't for his work. check his site out. it is just mind blowing.
Enjoy flickr friends.
