  1. I get that advice. I'm not a constant heavy drinker, and I'm not looking for a magical hangover cure because I frequently get shitfaced. Short of abstaining from alcohol altogether, I'm more interested in a supplement that combats the negative affects of alcohol on the system, because even a few drinks that doesn't cause hangover symptoms the next morning can still create toxins in our body. And bringing this back to the longevity topic of the thread, I want to continue to enjoy beer and wine as I get older, and if there's a supplement that will mitigate the adverse effects of that on my body, I'm interested. And, we consume a lot of other things that aren't good for us, even things that we know are linked to higher cancer rates. BBQ, for example. There's a good amount of literature talking about how the process for smoking meats creates carcinogens. And red fatty meat in general is not as good as other leaner healthier meats. But I love BBQ, and I'm not going to quit eating it. But I don't eat it every week.
  2. It really is.
  3. Yesterday evening I tried the Cheers Restore, for science. I’d give it a similar review. After more than two drinks, it’s almost impossible to make my 4am wake up for the early morning workout. But after several glasses of wine last night, it was no problem. I sensed a little rust at the start of the workout, and it was probably because I didn’t hydrate as well as I could have. I’m still going to maintain my general rule of not drinking during the workweek. But on those nights that are the exception, or if it’s the last night of vacation and I have an early flight home, or at the end of a college football Saturday, these pills are useful. But they shouldn’t be a license to drink more.
  4. And his father was in on the Kennedy assassination.
  5. Yes, but not about whether you get free checked bags.
  6. Man, the reboot of Christine looks awesome.

    You grew up in the Bon Aire building?
  8. I think it’s bad. But the President of the United States has thanked us for our attention to this matter.
  9. It’s not new anymore, so we call it North Mexico.
  10. I miss Lobo. Right around now he’d post about all of Heidi’s extramarital blowjobs.
  11. Midweek baked penne with salet.
  12. Trump and his family will be enjoying champagne and caviar in a posh underground bunker, while the rest of us on the surface who manage to survive our fifth degree burns will be fighting over cockroaches for food. That’s a pretty fucking epic win, wouldn’t you say?
  13. Funny, but on her first day of work she wore her Adidas shoes, and her boss told her she was required to wear Nike (or some other no athletic footwear that wasn’t a competitor).
  14. There was nothing juvenile about my response. It was fact-based.
  15. He likely has bad breath because the entire Nebraska athletic department gargles Texas’ balls.
  16. My daughter is a rising sophomore at Oregon. I’d never been to Eugene until last summer. It’s a fantastic college town. I need to get there for a game. Also, my daughter is an intern at UO’s athletic department, and she’s going to be working all the home football games this season. She also worked the Eugene super regionals for baseball and softball last month and said those were pretty cool.
  17. Don't rule out Trump awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
  18. Sydney didn't grate on me like she did others, but she wasn't my favorite character. I've never seen her in anything else so have no comparison. I recall that she was more tolerable in Season 2. I did love her and Richie going at each other in Review, culminating in her stabbing Richie in the ass.
  19. Not sure if this is the best thread, but it's related to health and longevity. Has anyone tried Restore from a company called Cheers? https://cheershealth.com/products/restore Yes, I know that the best way to combat alcohol's effects on your body is to not drink at all. But, for those times when you might consume more than a couple drinks in one setting (e.g., football games, dinner parties, drinking alone in your garage), the science behind this product is interesting. Many of you may already know this, but when the body is trying to metabolize alcohol, it converts alcohol to acetaldehyde, which is way more toxic than alcohol. This, along with dehydration, is why we can feel like shit the next morning after significant alcohol consumption. And, acetaldehyde is a carcinogen, which is why alcohol has been linked to a higher rate of cancer. This product includes cysteine, which converts acetaldehyde into a non-toxic compound and supposedly neutralizes its negative effects on the body, allowing you to metabolize alcohol more efficiently, and reducing the hangover effects. A couple of my friends recently purchased these capsules and claim they work. Anyone here ever tried this?
  20. Nice. Little Si has a little larger elevation gain, but it's more gradual than I remember Rattlesnake Ledge. It still got my heart rate up on a couple stretches.
  21. I'll be in Park City next week with three teenagers. I'll plan a day at the Olympic Park, have a reservation to raft the Weber River, and will have an adult dinner with the wife at Firewood. Any recommendations for a causal meal in town?
