A new study in the medical journal “Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research”, finds that heavy drinkers OUTLIVE nondrinkers. Over the 20-year study, 69% of the nondrinkers died, versus 60% of the heavy drinkers. Moderate drinkers survived the best . . . only 41% died. The researchers say they have NO IDEA why this happens. Their best theory is that, statistically, nondrinkers are more likely to be POOR, since drinking ain’t cheap. And without money, there are more STRESSES, like job and family worries.

I thought this was AMAZING — anyone else think this was the best part of the whole night?

A Beijing Freeway Is 10 Days Into A Traffic Jam . . . And It May Not Be Cleared Up For A Few More Weeks

Right now in Beijing, there are people who’ve been stuck in a 62-mile traffic jam FOR TEN DAYS. With no end in sight.

–Chinese officials had to close one freeway because it had been so damaged that it was un-drivable. That pushed all the traffic to another freeway, the Beijing-Tibet Expressway, on August 14th . . . and since then it’s been hopelessly jammed.

–According to officials, the traffic jam may not be fully cleared up until MID SEPTEMBER. Local residents have been taking advantage of China’s new capitalism trend by selling noodles to stranded drivers . . . at inflated prices.
